EU talks on Russia sanctions; tankers sail through Europe.
The European Union is trying to make new rules to stop goods and services from going to Russia’s energy businesses. Two Russian tankers are going around these rules. This makes it hard to enforce the sanctions.
The EU wants to limit Russia’s ability to get money for its energy projects. Specifically, they are targeting modules for Russia’s Arctic gas projects. Two tankers, the Glory Ocean and Bright Ocean, are carrying these modules. European politicians want the Fayard shipyard to stop helping these tankers. This is because the tankers will continue operating after the EU stops buying Russian LNG in 2027.
