Zelensky urged the European Union to impose sanctions on Russia's "shadow fleet," following the example set by the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom has taken a significant step by imposing sanctions on Russia's "shadow fleet," which is involved in the transportation of oil and petroleum products from the country. This was announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a statement following the events of November 25, as reported by his press service.
Зеленский urged the EU to implement sanctions against Russia's "shadow fleet," following the example set by the United Kingdom.

"Today, there is a new decision from Britain regarding sanctions against the 'shadow tanker fleet'. 30 tankers have been sanctioned. This is an important step. It would be right for European partners – at the level of the entire EU – as well as other partners to support such sanctions," said the President of Ukraine.

According to him, "the less Russia benefits from oil revenues, the less capability it will have to wage war."

"This is an obvious connection. A connection that must work for the sake of real peace," notes Zelensky.

He also considers it essential for the international community to respond to the shelling of Ukrainian cities by Russian occupiers. The President emphasized that only on November 25, the enemy struck Kharkiv (reportedly from the S-400 air defense system, leaving 25 people injured) and Odesa (as a result of a strike from a Iskander-M ballistic missile, 11 people were wounded).

"All those affected have received the necessary assistance. I am grateful to everyone who is helping. We will definitely respond to Russia for everything it does. And it is important that such strikes, each one of them, do not go unanswered, not just by us. There should not even be a hint of normalizing Russian terror – of getting used to it," declared Zelensky.
