The United Kingdom has imposed sanctions on 135 Russian oil tankers, part of the country's efforts to enforce restrictions on oil exports. This action, announced by the UK government, targets vessels from Russia's "shadow fleet" that are used to circumvent international sanctions.

This significant measure aims to disrupt Moscow's ability to bypass these restrictions and is a part of the ongoing global response to Russia's actions.
