The United Kingdom has imposed sweeping new sanctions targeting Russia’s so-called 'shadow fleet,' blacklisting 135 oil tankers and two Russian-linked companies.

The targeted tankers have reportedly transported $24 billion worth of oil since early 2024, often using secretive methods to evade existing sanctions. The UK’s action is part of a broader Western effort, in coordination with the EU, to clamp down on the networks and infrastructure enabling Russia’s illicit oil trade. Analysts say these sanctions could significantly impact global shipping and further tighten the economic pressure on Moscow.
