President Volodymyr Zelensky listened to a report by Oleh Ivashchenko, head of Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS) , on countering Russia's “shadow fleet.”

According to Ukrinform, Zelensky wrote about this on Facebook.

"Our intelligence is actively working with partners to prevent Russia from using ships of the so-called ‘shadow fleet’ to carry out sabotage and other attempts to destabilize Europe. We are providing all the necessary information to our partners and expect that countering Russian interference will be much stronger. Currently, the Russians are using tankers not only to earn money for the war, but also for reconnaissance and even sabotage activities. It is entirely possible to stop this," Zelensky said.

The interlocutors discussed specific tasks regarding sanctions against Russia, in particular, which schemes for circumventing sanctions need to be blocked first. Ivashchenko also reported on changes in Russia's disinformation tactics in the near future.

As reported by Ukrinform, Russia's “shadow fleet” is polluting European seas with oil.
