If you had been wondering how #Russia seemed to be (despite sanctions) happily exploiting #oil into the international market, look no further than EU & G7 #merchantshipping...

certainly, there is also a shadow fleet doing some of the shipping, but mainstream (normally operating) vessels (including a lot of #Greek shipping which carried around a third of all shipment in the first 6 months of 2023) is also handling Russian oil exports.

Unenforced sanctions are not sanctions!
