This [accident] is also evidence for our partners that Russia's use of the so-called “shadow fleet” for illegal transportation not only brings billions to the Russian military budget, but also increases the risks of environmental disasters and damage to coastal states. This applies not only to the Black Sea
“That is why Ukraine once again calls for tighter sanctions restrictions on the operators of the Russian shadow fleet. It's high time to anchor this 'shadow fleet',” added Tychyi.
In addition, he called on the international community to increase pressure on Russia to stop its illegal economic activities in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and to bring it to justice for all the cross-border damage to the environment and people.
