Ukraine Is Planning New Sanctions Against Russia’s Shadow Fleet and War Propagandists, Zelenskyy Says

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced in his evening address on April 10 that Ukraine is preparing new sanctions against Russia, including measures targeting its so-called shadow fleet .

“I have also instructed that our Ukrainian sanctions packages be prepared. There is relevant justification from our intelligence services. These are strong packages. They target, in particular, the shadow tanker fleet that Moscow uses to finance the war; war propagandists – those who are trying to undermine our defense and help Russia; and also certain officials – these are names well known to all Ukrainians – who used to have influence,” Zelenskyy said.

According to the President, the relevant decrees are currently being prepared. The process will unfold in stages.

“We are also working to synchronize our sanctions packages with the decisions of partners – first and foremost in the European Union, as well as in other strong jurisdictions around the world,” Zelenskyy added.

On April 3, Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence unveiled the identities of 11 Russian ship captains and 31 vessels tied to sanctions evasion schemes used to trade Russian oil.
