Half of the ships transported more than 4.3 billion dollars (￡3.4 billion) of oil and oil products in the last 12 months, and two insurance companies have also been targeted with sanctions.
The shadow fleet is made up of ships engaged in illegal operations to evade sanctions.

“We are supporting them by ￡3 billion a year every year for as long as it lasts to support them militarily, and of course with both economic and humanitarian aid we continue to support Ukraine.
“It’s hugely important at this G7 that all colleagues across the G7 continue to stand with Ukraine for as long as it lasts and we are confident that Ukraine can have the funds and the military equipment and kit to get through 2025.
“Our assessment is that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin shows no signs at all of wanting a negotiation. We have to ensure that Ukrainians are equipped for the fight.”
Asked for more detail about the sanctions, Mr Lammy added: “We are shadowing 30 Russian vessels. We are determined to ensure that both the ships, the enablers of those ships thwarting European and UK sanctions, are hurt at this time and that we ensure that the attempts to circumvent the sanctions that we put in place previously and of course to avoid Russia using its oil revenues to continue to fund its war – that we bear down on those issues.”
