EU Foreign Minister Josep Borrell made an important statement on Russian oil.
He proposed to EU foreign ministers to strengthen sanctions against Russia's so-called shadow fleet.
Reducing oil exports from Russia will become a new lever for strengthening sanctions, RIA Novosti writes.
According to Borrell, the number of ships in the shadow fleet continues to grow.
Bypassing sanctions helps Moscow overcome established oil price ceilings.
The EU has already taken steps in this direction as part of the new 14th package of anti-Russian sanctions.
Restrictions on the shadow fleet were introduced against Russia. The sanctions list included 27 vessels.
Borrell stressed at a meeting of foreign ministers in Luxembourg that it is necessary to act more decisively to limit Russia's capabilities.
