Ukraine and Wider Operational UpdateContribution
We owe it to the Ukrainians to step up action on those shadow operations, and we are doing so. That is why we are deterring, we are disrupting and we are degrading the Russian shadow fleet as a priority for the Government. To date, we have imposed sanctions on 544 vessels. According to estimates, sanctions against the shadow fleet by the UK and our partners have forced 200 ships—almost half the Russia shadow fleet’s overall capacity—off the seas, while Russia’s critical oil revenues are now down 27% compared with October 2024. That is their lowest since the start of its full-scale invasion.
