Sweden believes that the new package of sanctions against russia should include restrictions against the shadow fleet of tankers transporting russian oil to circumvent sanctions. This was stated on the eve of the meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg by Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Bilstrom, Reuters reports, UNN writes.
Details
According to him, the international community should introduce the 14th package of sanctions against russia, which will include solutions to counteract the shadow fleet of the russian federation.
Adoption of the 14th package of sanctions (against Russia - ed.) is one of the most important things. We will make sure that we both include a ban on liquefied natural gas imports, as well as measures to curb Russia's shadow fleet
At the same time, Billström noted that another important issue is the need for military supplies to be carried out to Ukraine without interruption.
Addendum
The discussion of the sanctions package is currently at an early stage. No decisions on the approval of new sanctions restrictions are planned for the meeting in Luxembourg.
Recall
The German newspaper tagesschau cited its own sources as saying that the EU is preparing the 14th package of sanctions against russia, including measures to circumvent restrictive measures, as well as expanding the list of individuals and organizations whose assets will be frozen, with specific proposals.
