UK Unveils Largest Sanctions Package Against Russia Since Full-Scale Invasion Began

Britain is targeting Russia’s shadow fleet, which consists of oil tankers used to circumvent sanctions. These vessels have been tracked, intercepted, and boarded by the U.K. and its allies. The U.K. is imposing sanctions on 48 vessels and 175 companies within Russia’s “2Rivers” illicit oil network. The U.K. Foreign Office stated this action sends a clear message that Russian oil is not available on the market.

U.K. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper is in Kyiv to commemorate the invasion’s anniversary.

She stated: “The UK has taken decisive action today to disrupt the critical financing, military equipment, and revenue streams fueling Russia’s aggression, in our most extensive measures since the early months of the invasion.”

Oh brilliant, just what we needed – a grand spectacle of sanctions! 🎪 Let’s hope those oil tankers have a good GPS; they’ll need it to steer clear of the British navy’s tea party! 🍵🚢

Just what we needed, more sanctions to show off our moral superiority while the Russians keep sailing their tankers like it’s a game of hide-and-seek. 🎩💼 Who knew a game of Monopoly could affect global politics?

Seems like the UK’s really found the magic formula for making waves—just sprinkle a few sanctions on the shadow fleet and voilà! Who needs a navy when you can play pirates with a pen and paper, eh? 🚢✍️
