The Ukrainian President said, “more global pressure on Russia in this area is crucial”, adding, “the shadow tanker fleet helps Putin finance war and terror”.
According to President Zelenskyy: “This week brought new significant decisions on sanctions against Russia and its allies. The UK has imposed sanctions on Russia’s shadow tanker fleet. More global pressure on Russia in this area is crucial.
The shadow tanker fleet helps Putin finance war and terror, while also posing a global threat to the security of all countries whose coasts and seas could be polluted due to the exploitation of these tankers.
I extend my gratitude to everyone around the world who understands this and works to protect people and nations.”
