British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced new sanctions that are aimed at the so -called Shadow Fleet of Russia prior to a military top in Norway on Friday.
The government said it was up to 100 oil tankers responsible for wearing more than $ 24 billion in freight since the beginning of last year.
Great -Britain has already focused dozens of “shadow fleet” ships that, according to its sanctions, avoid oil exports by Western countries after the Moscow invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
The UK also says that the ships damage critical submarine cables in Europe.
“The threat of Russia for our national security cannot be underestimated,” Starmer said in a statement, adding that more measures are needed to combat Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“That is why we will do everything in our strength to destroy its shadow fleet surgery, to starve his war machine from oil income and to protect the undersea infrastructure on which we trust for our daily lives.”
Mr. Starmer would attend a meeting of the Joint Expeditionary Force (Jef) in Oslo on Friday, where Ukraine and Arctic Security would be on the agenda.
The military alliance led by the British led by the British is expected to announce further support for Ukraine's forces that will include intensive training exercises and efforts to prevent disinformation, the British government said.
Great -Britain and Norway will also agree a new memorandum of understanding “space domain consciousness” that “keeping up and parts of intelligence on satellites, space waste and other objects flying above the earth,” added the explanation.
Jef consists of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, the Netherlands and Sweden, as well as the UK.
