Sanctions against Russian tankers and the entire infrastructure used to transport Russian oil will be intensified both by Europe and by Ukraine.

According to Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky reported this during his video address.

"Today, there is also an additional sanctions step in Europe – more sanctions will target Russian tankers and the entire Russian oil transport infrastructure – and this is right. In December, Ukraine will present its own package of sanctions against the tanker fleet working for the war, and we will extend this pressure through joint formats with our partners," Zelensky said.
