“Ukraine will always be at the heart of the UK government's agenda,” stated the leader of the British Labour Party government, Keir Starmer, on X.
I won't allow Russia's shadow fleet of oil tankers, and the dirty money it generates, to flow freely through European waters and put our security at risk.

Ukraine is, and always will be, at the heart of my government’s agenda.
Earlier on July 19 it was announced that the UK has imposed sanctions on 11 additional oil tankers involved in aiding Russia's export of supplies to customers, including some linked to a shadow fleet. This follows the agreement reached at the European Political Community (EPC) summit, where 44 European countries and the European Union pledged to collaborate in efforts to dismantle Russia's alleged "shadow fleet."
It was reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to visit Downing Street on July 19 and is expected to meet and brief the new Cabinet about the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine.
