Details
We are talking about ships of the so-called Russian "shadow fleet". The Russian Deposit Insurance Agency was also included in the sanctions list.
The UK is stepping up the pressure by imposing 100 new sanctions as President Putin ruthlessly intensifies his attacks against Ukrainians, the British government said in a statement.
Also, official London and the UK's partners are already working to tighten the oil price cap.
Additionally
At the same time, new sanctions against Russia were introduced in the European Union. The new restrictions will affect 200 ships of Russia's shadow fleet.
Reminder
