The United Kingdom has imposed sanctions on 12 additional tankers described as part of Russia's 'shadow fleet', the network of ageing vessels used to move Russian oil while evading price-cap and export restrictions. The move comes as monitoring shows growing Russian shipping traffic along Arctic routes, raising concerns that Moscow is expanding covert oil exports through northern waters.
Why now: Western sanctions on Russia's oil-export fleet are escalating as the Ukraine war continues, making each new sanctions round newsworthy.
