UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a crackdown on Russia’s so-called shadow fleet of oil tankers used to skirt international sanctions, saying 44 European nations had endorsed the plan at a meeting of the European Political Community hosted in Britain.
The joint “call to action” — first reported earlier in the week by Bloomberg — aims to disrupt the fleet of around 600 vessels which Western countries say are used by Moscow to transport some 1.7 million barrels of oil per day, according to a statement released late on Thursday by Downing Street.
