Russia hit with fresh sanctions! European Union adds firms tied to Moscow’s shadow fleet to list; bans oil traders with connections

New measures name oil traders Murtaza Lakhani and Etibar Eyyub, aiming to disrupt the “shadow fleet” of tankers used to bypass Western restrictions and continue generating revenue for the Kremlin.
