FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin EU High Representative Kaja Kallas said that coordinated European action against Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet” is beginning to show results, arguing that enforcement measures are making illicit shipping operations harder, riskier and more costly. Speaking at an informal meeting of EU defence ministers, Kallas pointed to recent inspections carried out by France and Sweden on tankers suspected of involvement in Russian oil transport activities. She also noted that the EU naval mission Operation IRINI has begun boarding vessels under updated rules of engagement targeting ships linked to the shadow fleet.
