Ukraine must be sanctioned by vessels, not just owners. Why the "shadow fleet" of the Russian Federation continues to function

The Verkhovna Rada can revise the law on sanctions to impose new restrictions on the "shadow fleet" of Russia, because today Ukraine cannot sanction individual vessels. The People's Deputy and diplomat Andriy Nikolaenko said this on the air "News. Live", Ukrainian News reports. "Our law on sanctions, we need to be revised. Because we can sanction legal and natural persons, but Ukraine, unlike the same UK, cannot sanction vessels.

Our jurisdiction and opportunities, including restrictions on their movement, are much smaller, The knife of the same British where the main reinsure marine agency "Lloyd's" is. According to him, the nucleus of the "shadow fleet" is three to four company, located mainly in the Arab Emirates. "They are interested in the founders, the Azerbaijanis related to Viktor Medvedchuk, who left their mark in Ukraine," said Nikolaenko deputy on air.

In his opinion, sanctions will be effective if they are distributed to individual vessels, not just to their owners. "This is how the British are sanctioned," he added. In addition, Nikolaenko believes that Ukraine should first of all be interested in imposing new sanctions, because it is the revenue from oil, and above all the state corporation "Rosnafta", generates up to a third of the budget of Russia, which gives the opportunity to finance the war. "Therefore, we have an example.

The White House does not want to (impose sanctions - ed. ), Let it not impose. , - said the People's Deputy. At the same time, according to Nikolaenko, new sanctions will not lead to a rise in price of gasoline on the eve of the US presidential election. "I think this is a mistake. Prices will not increase. Given the level of production (oil - ed. ) In the United States, it is a false statement and election manipulation," Nikolaenko said.

The head of the direction of minimizing corruption risks in the sanction policy of Agia Zagrebelsk also points out that "the shadow fleet is not only Ukraine but also countries with access to the sea. " "Because these are really very outdated vessels that violate many international rules during their work and carry out the ship-to-rain (from ship to ship). It is necessary for these services to pay the insurance company. , - says the expert.

Zagrebelskaya noted that almost 90% of Russian oil transportation is carried out through a shadow fleet, which interferes with the introduced "price-kep" (the marginal price for oil) and, accordingly, allows Russia to continue to earn money on export of oil to finance the war against Ukraine. "In fact, in about 90% of cases of Pricea-Kape because of the" shadow fleet "does not work. Our partners have tools for this.

On the other hand, we have seen the United States as the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union is not sanctioned by companies that are managing these vessels The vessel. They are still moving. According to her, in part of the "shadow fleet" Russia cooperates with Iran. "Recently, there was a major investigation into Bloomberg, describing that one of the largest" shadow fleets ", which works including for Russia and transports Russian oil, are registered companies in the UAE .
