Direct speech: “Today Ukrainian sanctions against almost 700 more sea vessels that the Russians use to finance the war came into effect. This is a significant part of the Russian fleet that transports oil and other energy resources and gives money to prolong the war.

This is the largest package of sanctions specifically against tankers and other vessels that serve aggression. The package includes ships flying not only under the Russian flag, but also under the flags of other countries – in particular, more than 50 jurisdictions.”
Details: According to the president, Ukraine will work to ensure that each of these ships, each ship-owning company and the entire infrastructure of Russian oil and other energy exports are blocked by partner countries as well.
“We support the concept of a complete ban on the provision of maritime services to vessels that are involved in the export of Russian energy carriers. Pressure on Russia and diplomacy to end the war must go hand in hand in order to achieve the necessary result. Russia must stop the war that it started and is prolonging,” he added.
The corresponding decree of December 13 on the entry into force of the NSDC decision on sanctions was published on the president’s website. There are 656 vessels on the sanctioned list.
