The UK placed sanctions on 11 more oil tankers that are helping Russia to export its supplies to customers, including some that are part of a shadow-fleet.
Eight are owned by Russia’s state-run oil tanker business, Sovcomflot PJSC, while three others bear the hallmarks of shadow-fleet vessels, according to an updated sanctions list.
