Kallas: 20th sanctions package to further 'tighten net,' especially around Russia's shadow fleet

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas said the 20th package of sanctions against Russia would include restrictions targeting Russia’s "shadow fleet."

As reported by an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent, Kallas made the statement after the informal off-site meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Kyiv.

At a joint press conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, Kallas said that ending the war required confronting Moscow rather than rewarding it, and strengthening sanctions rather than weakening them. She added that the 20th sanctions package was ready to be introduced and would tighten the net even further, especially around Russia’s shadow fleet.
