"Zelenskyy called for tougher action against Moscow's so-called shadow fleet of tankers and for it to be denied oil revenues. Revenues give Russia a sense of impunity and the ability to continue the war."
"The so-called shadow fleet is a network of vessels that continue to export oil and gas despite Western sanctions due to the ongoing war with Ukraine."
"Tankers that serve the war budget can and must be stopped and blocked, not just let go. The shadow fleet must not feel safe in European waters or anywhere else."
Volodymyr Zelenskyy warns that Russia is increasing oil revenues through shadow fleets and urges allies to maintain sanctions pressure. US-Ukraine talks are ongoing in Florida, with no Russian representatives present. Zelenskyy emphasizes the need to stop tankers that finance the war and highlights the recent increase in Russian crude oil sales due to eased sanctions. He asserts that the shadow fleet must not operate safely in European waters, as revenues allow Russia to continue its military actions against Ukraine.
