The investigations highlight a significant concern regarding the effectiveness of UK sanctions on Russian oil, especially as economic growth in Russia continues to be reported despite these measures.
Critics argue that the sanctions are largely ineffective, as recent data indicates that Russia's economy is reportedly growing, undermining the purpose of these financial sanctions.
Dame Harriett Baldwin emphasized the necessity for more rigorous actions, stating that UK importers may still be facilitating the import of Russian oil, contrary to the sanctions.
Global Witness criticized the lack of penalties against businesses violating sanctions, branding the oil price cap as a 'paper tiger' that fails to enforce accountability.
