We continue working on sanctions against Russia, targeting those who help finance its war against Ukraine. Today, I discussed this with the UK Foreign Secretary during his visit to Ukraine. It is crucial to keep pressuring Putin’s shadow tanker fleet, which moves oil around the world, funding Russian terror... show more

Strengthening sanctions against Russia’s shadow tanker fleet is vital. Targeting not just companies but also individuals involved will help cut off funding for the war. Strong, united action is needed.

Strong move! Targeting the shadow fleet and those enabling it is crucial to cutting off Russia's war funds. More countries should follow Ukraine and the UK in tightening sanctions.

A network of Russian agents, posing as anti-cult activists and journalists, infiltrated European media to sow division. A case study shows similar tactics have been used in Ukraine for decades.

The newly opened Russia/China pipeline is running 35 billion cubic meters/year. 3.4% GDP over the last 3 years. Over 16,500 sanctions and the economy is growing 3 times faster than the EU average. End the war, it's only going to get worse. Ask for '22 agreement/

But sanctions should go beyond just the tankers and companies involved—they must also target the captains of these vessels and all individuals connected to them. Ukraine has already taken such measures, and we are working to expand them across our partners’ jurisdictions. This is not going to happen and violates the Geneva Convention. You have lost all credabilty in International Forums

Targeting Russia's shadow fleet is key to cutting its war funding. Sanctions must hit not just companies but also individuals involved. Stronger, coordinated action is needed to cripple Putin’s war machine.

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.

Today I held a detailed meeting on sanctions and increasing pressure on Russia, specifically targeting the shadow tanker fleet. We have a series of measures in place and will be intensifying our work with partners. I also signed several decrees, including one that imposes sanctions on Russian companies and individuals who work in the interests of the aggressor state and help it evade accountability for the war. Ukraine will coordinate these sanctions with our partners—especially those targeting Russia’s aviation infrastructure.

RUTTE: "I commend Sweden for steps you take against Russia's shadow fleet. Was very impressive last night to hear stories. Shadow fleet vessels help Russia evade sanctions and finance its war against Ukraine."🔚 I wish more countries would join Sweden in its fight against Russia’s shadow fleet. It must be taken down one way or another.

Ukraine imposed two new sanctions packages today on over 300 Russian entities and 150 individuals directly involved in or assisting the aggression. Every name on the list is directly responsible for the ongoing terror. Ukrainian sanctions supplement international sanctions mechanisms. We are working to ensure that the sanctions imposed by our partners are extended to those who have already been sanctioned by Ukraine. We will continue to work on this issue, and more steps will be taken.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine struck 2 oil tankers of Russian "shadow fleet" Zelensky: "Our troops continue to impose sanctions against Russia's shadow oil fleet — 2 such vessels were struck in the waters off the entrance to the port of Novorossiysk. These tankers were actively used for transporting oil — they will no longer be used." Less oil on the maket, thanks 👏

ZELENSKYY: Russia won't stop the war simply because someone asks it to. World's strongest leaders have already told Russia that this war must end. However, Putin wants to keep fighting. That is why Putin must face conditions that make it impossible for him to continue this war. We are creating those conditions through our long-range strikes on Russian military and oil facilities. Our medium-range sanctions are also having an effect. They make it harder for Russia to occupy our territory and our lives. And we are doing everything we can to make the occupation unbearable for the occupier. I want to thank everyone who supports us and our efforts, and I urge you to continue this support through new European Union sanctions. These sanctions are needed against Russia's shadow fleet and against many of the tools Putin still relies on to keep this war going.

Our institutions are working on the synchronization of European and Ukrainian sanctions. We are also fully aligning the European sanctions package targeting the regime in Iran, which includes numerous individuals, companies, and entities not only involved in military production and external terror schemes against neighboring countries in the region, but also in internal repression within Iran itself. It is one of the most brutal regimes in the world. No surprise that Putin found common ground with it. Global sanctions against Russia must now be one of the top priorities. They are a real tool for limiting Russia’s strategic capabilities and potential, and they must increasingly and painfully restrict Russia’s ability to continue its war against our independence. I thank everyone who is helping.

Today the UK has exposed and sanctioned those behind the shadow fleet. Let this be a warning to those who enable Putin’s illegal war against Ukraine. Eroding the Kremlin’s war chest remains my personal mission, and I will not back down.

Ballistic missiles are Russia’s last remaining argument in this war, and we must find sufficient countermeasures. I thank our partners and Mark Rutte that the PURL initiative exists and is functioning – contributions were made this May. There will be contributions in June as well. Today, we discussed how we can accelerate and expand deliveries under this key program. I also thank all our partners who are already working with us on joint production and helping with funding so that weapons production in Ukraine can continue to grow. We discussed with the NATO Secretary General several other things that could provide Ukraine with stronger long-term financial security guarantees. We will keep working on this at both the G7 Summit and the NATO Summit in Ankara. Sanctions against Russia. Our long-range capabilities. Financing for Ukraine. Our political cooperation. And our partners’ determination to help Ukraine precisely when help is needed – all of this sends signals to Russia that this war will bring it no results. All of this is also an incentive for Russia to turn to diplomacy. And we very much hope that over the summer and autumn we will be able to bring a real peace closer – a fair and dignified peace. I thank everyone who is helping. Thank you, Mark Rutte!

This week brought a significant sanctions strike, and I am grateful to our partners for this. The United States has imposed new sanctions on Russia’s oil sector, targeting the shadow tanker fleet and companies like Surgutneftegaz, which serves as Putin’s personal wallet. I’m also thankful for the sanctions against officials of Rosatom. This is crucial to pressure Russia’s nuclear industry for holding our Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant hostage. The United Kingdom is taking new steps to limit Moscow’s revenue from energy resources. Japan has also introduced a sanctions package targeting Russia’s weapons production, restricting the supply of components and cutting off key schemes that support their arms manufacturing. During my recent visit to Italy, sanctions were also a key topic of discussion. Italy firmly supports maintaining pressure on Russia, and I am grateful for their help in blocking Russian sanctions evasion schemes and working with the EU to sustain all measures aimed at forcing Russia to peace.

I am grateful to Canada for its new package of sanctions against more than 160 entities linked to Russia’s shadow fleet. Today, during our meeting with Mark Carney, we discussed strengthening sanctions pressure on Russia. And it is important that such decisions are being made. We also discussed formats of defense cooperation, Canada’s participation in financing the production of Ukrainian drones under the Danish model, and cooperation in the energy sector. Importantly, Canada will continue to provide Ukraine with energy support and assistance in recovery. I thank Mark for his strong position during the G7–Ukraine meeting and for all the support for our people. We truly have strong allies and the Prime Minister’s significant personal engagement in supporting Ukraine. And this is highly valuable.

My first meeting with the new Prime Minister of Latvia, Andris Kulbergs (AS) 🇺🇦🇱🇻, and an important result for our countries – we signed a Drone Deal. These are concrete things to strengthen our joint defense and co-production, and, importantly, this also means Ukraine’s expertise and experience helping to strengthen our partners. This is exactly the kind of systemic cooperation we are building with those who have consistently supported us throughout all the years of Russia’s war. Ukraine is interested in ensuring that every region of Europe has sufficient protection against Russian threats. I also informed the Prime Minister about Ukraine’s air defense needs. Separately, we discussed sanctions pressure on Russia, in particular strengthening sanctions against Russia’s shadow fleet. I am grateful that we have such excellent relations between our nations. And we thank Latvia for all the support it has provided to Ukraine throughout this war.

It is time to end this war. But Russia’s ruler wants to keep fighting. That is why Ukrainian sanctions against this aggression are working. Last night, our drones covered a distance of about 1,000 kilometers to the St. Petersburg region – to the enemy navy’s arsenals and a base in Kronstadt. Our long-range sanctions also reached about 500 kilometers into the Krasnodar region – and hit an oil depot. These are important results of the joint efforts by warriors from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. Russia must end its war and stop its attacks on life. Any manifestation of injustice against Ukraine will receive a just response. I thank our warriors for their precision.

"The threat from Russia against all of us is real and it is serious," - Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen. "Putin is talking about peace during the day and bombing at night. We see a more aggressive Russia approach in the Baltic Sea region. It is assessed by the Danish Defense Intelligence Service that Russia sees itself in conflict with the West and is preparing for war against NATO. It is therefore crucial that we take bold and necessary decisions at the NATO Summit in The Hague in only three weeks from now. We need to invest massively in our collective security, all of us," Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said during a summit in Vilnius. She also called for continued support for Ukraine and for stronger sanctions against Russia. "We need to continue our strong and steadfast support for Ukraine's brave fight for freedom. We have to donate what is needed on the battlefield. We have to provide more financing for arms production directly going into Ukraine. We already have a mechanism that works. We have to implement stronger sanctions against Russia. It goes for the shadow fleet. Recently, we listed almost 200 additional vessels from the Russian shadow fleet. But more have to come against the shadow fleet, against Russian banks, financial sector. We have to end any remaining dependency on Russian energy, including oil, gas and nuclear energy. And to add one more thing – lower the oil cap," she said.

Over the past week, Russia launched nearly 1,550 attack drones against Ukraine, more than 1,260 guided aerial bombs, and two missiles. Over that same week, due to the easing of sanctions, Russia increased its crude oil sales to finance its war. Revenues give Russia a sense of impunity and the ability to continue the war. That is why pressure must continue and sanctions must work. Russia’s shadow fleet must not feel safe in European waters or anywhere else. Tankers that serve the war budget can and must be stopped and blocked, not just let go. I thank every leader who makes such decisions. This is what brings a dignified peace closer.

The first two captured Chinese citizens. Today, investigators from the Security Service of Ukraine spoke with them. We are working to establish all the facts regarding the involvement of these and other Chinese citizens being part of the Russian occupation army. Ukrainian intelligence is also working on this matter. As of now, we have precise data on over 150 Chinese citizens who were involved in the war against Ukraine by Russia. We know that the actual number is higher. Ukraine believes that such blatant involvement of Chinese citizens in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine during the war of aggression is a deliberate step towards the expansion of the war, and is yet another indication that Moscow simply needs to drag out the fighting. Russia doesn't care who dies in this insane war, they only need the war to continue. We all need—all partners, all fair-minded participants in international relations—to deprive Russia of the ability to continue the war, including through the use of people like these.

During these weeks, while the UN General Assembly was taking place, Russia literally used every day, every hour to strike Ukraine. Treacherous strikes. And this is what defines Russia – what they do, not what they say or send out as signals around the world. They have spurned all genuine peace proposals and deserve truly tough pressure. This week we expect decisions from Europe on such pressure – at the very least, a new sanctions package, the 19th. It is especially important that sanctions hit painfully at Russia’s energy trade and the entire infrastructure of its tanker fleet. Moreover, intelligence now indicates that the Russians are using tankers to launch and operate drones against European countries. This is yet more evidence why the Baltic Sea and other seas must be closed to Russian tankers – at the very least to the shadow fleet. We also count on strong steps from the United States. We discussed with President Trump what could truly push Russia to change its position and stop the war. The world has tools that can work in a genuinely peace-making way.

Unfortunately, the Russians continue to exploit various jurisdictions around the world, operating under different corporate covers. They are exploiting Europe as well—and this is extremely serious. In 2025 alone, Russia involved more than 122 vessels in its oil trade that are operated or legally owned by European entities. This constitutes a significant portion of Russia’s tanker fleet. Europe must act far more decisively to counter Russia’s tanker fleet. I thank all partners who see this the same way and who are ready to strengthen legislation to block these tankers and confiscate Russian oil.
