The EU upgrades sanctions on Russian energy, with over 560 shadow tankers sanctioned.
Jin10 data reports on September 19 that the European Union plans to intensify pressure on Russia's acquisition of oil dollars, with its next round of sanctions targeting several key areas of the global oil industry. As of now, there has been no significant fluctuation in international oil prices. Previous sanctions on Russian oil trade have often had a limited impact on Russia's oil supply. Currently, the EU has not released draft documents related to the sanctions, and it remains to be seen which assets or entities from third countries will be included in the sanctions list, pending the disclosure of complete details. Ursula von der Leyen also stated that Russian energy giants Rosneft and Gazprom Neft will face a "comprehensive trading ban," and other companies will encounter asset freezes. In addition, the EU will impose sanctions on an additional 118 vessels belonging to the "shadow tanker fleet," bringing the total number of shadow tankers sanctioned by the EU to over 560.
