US to Reimpose Russian Oil Sanctions, UK to Announce Shadow Fleet Sanctions
The US is set to reimpose sanctions on Russian oil, while the UK is preparing to announce new sanctions against Russia’s shadow fleet, turning earlier allied pressure into more concrete action against Moscow’s energy trade. The developments emerged after President Donald Trump said the US could soon impose increased sanctions on Russia.
The latest steps build on France’s statement that Group of Seven leaders backed more sanctions on Russia’s energy sector at the summit in France, where Trump met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. No details were provided on the scope or timing of the US move, and the UK action was described only as a planned new sanctions announcement.
