Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has enacted sanctions against 91 vessels identified as part of Russia's 'shadow fleet,' which is involved in circumventing international sanctions. This move is part of Ukraine's broader strategy to undermine Russian maritime operations and restrict its economic capabilities. The sanctions target vessels that have been linked to illicit oil transport and other activities that support Russia's war efforts. The implications of these sanctions could affect global shipping routes and increase tensions in the Black Sea region.
