The head of the British Foreign Office called for tracking down and blocking the tankers of the Russian "shadow fleet"

The Group of Seven (G7) countries will strengthen sanctions against russia and continue to fight against circumvention of existing restrictions, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said in an interview with Corriere della Sera. Among other things, he promised to arrange a "hunt" for tankers, with the help of which the Z-regime illegally exports its energy resources.

"We have to track down the shadow fleet that illegally transports russian oil around the world. Every time these tankers approach an Italian port, I want to make sure they are blocked."

According to the British minister, Ukraine's allies need to demonstrate to Putin "the senselessness of his actions." "We will show that we fully support Ukraine: we will hunt for money, for oil, we will stop gas, ships - everything that allows the russian military machine to work," Cameron stressed.

He also stated the need to include companies from other countries that supply dual-use goods to Russia in the sanctions lists. Among them, Cameron named China, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan and Israel.

On June 13, the UK imposed sanctions for the first time against tankers, as well as Ingosstrakh, which has become one of the leading insurers of shadow fleet vessels. In addition, ships delivering ammunition from North Korea fell under restrictive measures.

London's blacklist included four tankers sailing under the flags of Cameroon, the Cook Islands and Gabon. They have been denied access to British ports, and they may also be deprived of registration in the country's Ship Register.

The US has imposed sanctions against almost 40 ships since October 2023. This led russia to hide its shadow fleet in Africa.
