UK imposes tougher sanctions on Russia’s oil giants and shadow fleet
The UK expanded sanctions on Russia by targeting two energy giants, Lukoil and Rosneft, along with 51 ships believed part of the “shadow fleet” used to evade existing restrictions. Finance Minister Rachel Reeves described the move as a strong signal preventing Russia’s energy revenues from supporting its war efforts. The new sanctions also target individuals and entities linked to the energy and defence sectors, and aim to tighten global enforcement.
