EU not doing enough to stop Russian shadow fleet, European Parliament president says

Ms Metsola said the EU placed sanctions to prevent Russian gas from being bought inside the EU or imported via other countries in cheaper or different forms, and is edging closer to banning oil to the same extent. Tankers the Rigel, the Hyperion and the Kousai were followed from the Gulf of Finland, where they had been loaded with oil at Russian Baltic ports, as they passed the narrowest point of the Dover Straits. These ships were part of a "shadow fleet" of up to 800 vessels that kept the oil revenues funding the war in Ukraine.
