UK Sanctions Executives in Alleged Russian Oil Trade Network

The UK sanctioned senior executives in an oil trading network it says has been helping Moscow keep exports flowing, part of sweeping measures that will also include up to 100 ships.

The country’s sanctions body identified Azerbaijani citizen Etibar Eyyub as owning or controlling Coral Energy Group, Nord Axis, 2Rivers Group and BX Energy, which have been carrying on business in the Russian energy sector, it said in a notice.
