The British government introduced a new sanctions package against Russia on Wednesday, freezing assets of 51 Russian ships, 34 companies and five individuals. A total of 90 entities were sanctioned, the reason for most of them being their present or past involvement in “destabilising Ukraine” or “undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence of Ukraine” by contributing economic resources, goods or technology. According to the UK, the ships were a part of the so-called “shadow fleet,” which reportedly carries sanctioned Russian oil. Last month, the British government revealed a similar sanctions package, targeting 100 companies, individuals and “shadow fleet” ships.
