We highly value the sanctions against Russian tankers, their shadow fleet, which funds Putin’s war machine. Every one of these tankers must be sanctioned, and it’s essential to protect not only European ports from their operations. The consequences of their actions are evident: the catastrophe in the Black Sea,...

Let's not close our eyes to the problem: Russia still has accomplices – regimes like North Korea, and companies across the globe, many of them from China, that bypass sanctions and provide components for Russian weapons, Russian missiles. On top of that, Putin still has guarantees of financial stability. A large part of those guarantees lies here in Europe – in European seas. Russian oil tankers still move freely along Europe’s shores. In the Baltic Sea. In the North Sea. And in the Mediterranean. In total, Russia still uses more than a thousand tankers. Each of them is, in fact, a floating wallet for the Kremlin. And I recently discussed this with President Macron, with President von der Leyen, and with other leaders. I thank them for their willingness to fix this. We spoke about updating European legislation – so that Russian tankers can not only be detained, but blocked – this is important – to block all these tankers – and their oil confiscated – the way the United States acts against shadow fleet tankers near its own shores, and it works, really. Without oil money, Putin would not have money for this war. Let’s make it possible.

🚨🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia is planning armed naval patrols to protect its shadow fleet of oil tankers after a series of Ukrainian attacks. Putin aide Nikolai Patrushev says Moscow could deploy "mobile firing groups" and put weapons directly on the ships themselves. Ukraine has been hitting Russian tankers with sea drones in the Black Sea and Mediterranean. The shadow fleet is how Russia evades Western sanctions on its oil exports. Source: Financial Times

The continued easing of sanctions against Russia does not reflect the real situation in the war or in diplomacy and fuels the Russian leadership’s illusion that they can continue the war. This week alone, the Russians have launched over 2,360 attack drones, more than 1,320 guided aerial bombs, and nearly 60 missiles of various types at our cities and communities. Every dollar paid for Russian oil is money for the war. More than 110 tankers from Moscow’s shadow fleet are currently at sea. On board are over 12 million tons of Russian oil, which, due to the easing of sanctions, can once again be sold without consequences. That is $10 billion – a resource that is directly converted into new strikes against Ukraine. That is why it is important that Russian tankers are stopped, not allowed to deliver oil to ports. The aggressor’s oil exports must decrease, and Ukraine’s long-range sanctions continue to work toward that goal. I am grateful to every one of our warriors for their precision, and I thank all partners who are helping to increase pressure on Russia for this war.

We continue to respond to Russian strikes in a fully justified and accurate manner. Today, Ukraine’s long-range sanctions reached designated targets that support and finance Russia’s aggression. SSU units struck three oil depots in the Stavropol region at once, while units of our Armed Forces hit another fuel facility in the same region. Direct hits were recorded on three Russian shadow fleet tankers in the Black Sea. I thank every one of our units that is helping spread the realization in Russia that this war must end. Glory to Ukraine!

Today, Ukraine's long-range sanctions successfully struck important targets in Russia's Krasnodar and Stavropol regions – logistics hubs involved in supplying the Russian army with drone components, navigation equipment, and other gear – as well as another oil depot. In the waters of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, a tanker and four cargo ships from Russia's shadow fleet were also hit. We thank all our warriors in Ukraine's Defense Forces for these results. We are, quite justly, bringing the war back home – to Russia. Peace is needed, and Ukraine has presented the Russian side with every proposal. They must be forced to turn to diplomacy. Glory to Ukraine!

The Moscow region. Our long-range sanctions have produced results against logistics facilities and an oil depot. Thank you to the warriors of the Unmanned Systems Forces, our intelligence services, the Missile Forces and Artillery, and the Special Operations Forces. The targets were more than 400 kilometers from our border. Two shadow fleet tankers and four cargo ships were also struck in the Black Sea. We are responding, justly, to every Russian strike against our cities and communities. This war must be brought to an end, and that is only possible by increasing the pressure on the sole cause of this war – Russia.

German Foreign Minister Wadephul on the shadow fleet: They are not only a threat because they continue to generate revenue for Russia. They are also a threat to all Baltic Sea states, because we often see vessels in a catastrophic technical condition with poorly trained crews. Just imagine one of these large oil tankers running aground off our coasts. Both the Latvian and the German Baltic coasts would immediately be heavily polluted. An ecological catastrophe would be imminent, with serious economic consequences for the entire tourism sector.

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 and war. The UK is one of the leaders in taking action against this fleet. 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.

150 Russian ships right on our doorstep in the Baltic Sea—including "shadow fleet" vessels—yet the EU and NATO are taking no action. „Tankers and cargo ships have piled up in a 60-kilometer-long traffic jam in the Gulf of Finland. The difficulties arose after Russia rerouted some of its exports to bypass the Black Sea. The OSINT analyst "Russian Forces Spotter" was the first to draw attention to this anomaly. As of September 30, around 150 ships—65 tankers and 85 freighters—were waiting for permission to enter Russian ports. The largest backlog formed at the entrance to the gulf, stretching nearly 60 kilometers. The ships are clustered about 120 kilometers from the port of Ust-Luga; currently, 43 vessels are located there. At least six of them can be linked to the so-called "shadow fleet." The congestion began to build in September of this year. Throughout the month, an average of 30 to 40 tankers and freighters were present there at any one time. In contrast, maps from the summer showed barely more than ten ships in the area. These logistical issues may stem from Russia shifting some of its cargo flows from the Black Sea to the north. In the Black Sea, ships linked to Russia had repeatedly been targeted by Ukrainian drone attacks during the summer.“ Video: The Insider / Starboard Maritime Intelligence DW.

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.

Zelenskyy in Davos: Russian oil is being transported right along Europe’s shores, and that oil is funding the war against Ukraine. This directly contributes to destabilizing Europe. Russian oil must be stopped, confiscated, and sold for Europe’s benefit. Why not? If Putin has no money, there is no war. If Europe has the resources, it can protect its people. Right now those tankers are making money for Putin and that means Russia continues to push it's sick agenda.

Russian shadow fleet not just allows Russia to earn money for its war on Ukraine but is also an environmental catastrophe waiting to happen. In a September video by Yle. fi, experts explain that about 70% of the tankers used in the Russian shadow fleet are at least 15 years old. They do not go through proper servicing which increases the risk of technical issues and malfunctions. A lot of these vessels have been blacklisted in the first place because their condition is so bad (meaning they are not allowed to sail) but they still continue voyaging through the Gulf of Finland, for example. Many of them sail under the jurisdictions of different countries, which makes them harder to track. The risk of an oil spill is getting more and more likely - and the shadow vessels carry tens of thousands tons of oil. The environmental disaster that would follow would have an unprecedented scale. It will affect all forms of wildlife and sea life, destroy the business of fishermen and coastal tourism for years, if not decades. Its aftermath for the environment would be indescribable, and the costs to mitigate such a disaster will be exorbitant. Since Russian shadow fleet tankers mostly don't have proper insurance, there is very little chance that any payments will follow that will cover the costs. These expenses will have to be borne by the country/countries near which this will happen, combined with future economic losses caused by damage to the environment. Moreover, Russian shadow fleet tankers are an extra burden for the coast guards as they have to check more vessels (again, many of them are in very poor condition) and have extra training, working on scenarios of possible environmental disasters. According to experts quoted by Yle. fi, from January 2022 to August 2024, 380 million tons of Russian oil and other petroleum products went through the Gulf of Finland, earning Russia more than $220 billion for the war in Ukraine. It is obvious at this point that tackling Russian shadow fleet and cutting off or substantially decreasing Russian oil profits is a top priority towards ending the war and ensuring lasting peace. However, as with almost everything in this war, stopping Russia is also very important for the environment - globally and locally. Currently, this fleet is a ticking bomb that can explode tens of thousand of oil into water at any moment.

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.

NATO General Alexus Grynkewich: When I look around the globe, Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and others are increasing their collaboration and their cooperation as their interests align against us. We see this clearly in Ukraine. While President Trump pushes for a peaceful resolution to a horrible war, China continues to fund Putin's war machine. Iran continues to supply technology and weapons. And North Korean combat troops remain in Russia on Ukraine's border. And of course, there's a confluence between Russia, Iran, and Venezuela, and their dark fleet of oil tankers that is helping to fund the war. In the Arctic and the high north, we see a similar trend. Russian and Chinese vessels are conducting more and more joint patrols.
