EU FMs to approve new package of anti-Russia sanctions

EU foreign ministers will discuss new sanctions against Russia, including blacklisting 40 tankers allegedly carrying Russian oil, the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas said as she arrived at a scheduled EU ministerial meeting.

"We will make decisions today regarding the shadow fleet vessels. We have forty additional vessels plus enablers," Kaja Kallas said.

According to her, the move is aimed at limiting Russian resources.

Earlier, Bloomberg reported that he EU conducted extensive diplomatic outreach to the states that register vessels used to circumvent the bloc’s sanctions and has been “largely successful” in convincing many of them to de-register the 'shadow fleet' ships.
