The Commission welcomes yesterday's decision by EU member states to adopt supplementary sanctions against key components of the Russian shadow fleet value chain, as well as against Belarus.

These new measures aim at further increasing pressure on Russia and Belarus to reinforce and support the EU's commitment to securing a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.

Yesterday, the EU decided to impose supplementary sanctions on the shadow fleet ecosystem, the opaque web of enablers and operators underpinning the shadow fleet business. This includes shipowners, brokers, and commercial entities mismanaging the shipping register for some Member States.

Additionally, the EU has introduced new criteria for sanctioning individuals or groups from Belarus involved in actions that undermine EU democracy, rule of law, and security.

More information is available in the press release online.
