G7<\/a> has imposed sanctions on the four largest Russian oil companies.<\/p>\nA further 12 tankers from the \u00abshadow fleet\u00bb have been added to the list\u00bb<\/h2>\n
The new package also targeted 12 oil tankers which the British authorities classify as part of Russia\u2019s \u00abshadow fleet\u00bb. Following this, the number of such vessels subject to UK sanctions exceeded 600.<\/p>\n
The British Foreign Office has reported that these tankers are often in service for over 20 years, use opaque registration schemes, change flags and conceal information about their routes. At the same time, London is seeking to restrict the organisations that arrange the transport and logistics of Russian oil.<\/p>\n
Financial restrictions on crypto exchanges and payment services<\/h2>\n
Three cryptocurrency exchanges, two payment platforms and an individual linked to them have been subject to restrictions. Three of the financial institutions on the list are linked to Kyrgyzstan.<\/p>\n
According to the British government, two sanctioned entities carried out or facilitated transactions linked to the A7 network, which London describes as a tool for circumventing international financial sanctions. Last year, A7 reported transactions totalling over $90 billion; however, this figure is the network\u2019s own estimate rather than an independently verified assessment of the transactions.<\/p>\n
Suppliers of machine tools, electronics and materials for the defence industry<\/h2>\n
Seventeen individuals and legal entities linked to the international supply of goods to the Russian military-industrial complex have been added to the sanctions list. These include Russian importers of machine tools, electronics and materials that could be used in the manufacture of ballistic missiles and drones.<\/p>\n
These are products in the \u2018Common High Priority\u2019 category, which the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union consider to be of critical importance to Russian military production. A citizen of one of the European states has also been added to the list due to links with a company that exported machine tools to Russia via intermediaries.<\/p>\n
The package has already been added to the UK sanctions lists<\/h2>\n
As of 8 October, the restrictions had been added to the UK\u2019s official sanctions lists. The government clarified that the package contains 26 new sanctions entries relating to individuals and organisations, and 12 separate sanctions designations for vessels.<\/p>\n
The Russian Embassy in London has criticised the British Government\u2019s decision. As reported by Reuters, citing RIA Novosti, the embassy claimed that London\u2019s approach was allegedly ineffective.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
