Propagandists, oil networks and drone suppliers targeted The sanctions target seven individuals and 21 entities supporting Russia’s military-industrial complex, including drone manufacturers and suppliers operating in Russia and China. Among those sanctioned are Russian military technology organizations, drone producers and companies accused of supplying equipment used in Russia’s war against Ukraine. The package also targets 24 companies and two individuals involved in transporting Russian oil through the so-called shadow fleet network, which Moscow uses to circumvent Western restrictions on energy exports. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the measures are designed to increase pressure on Russia’s war economy. “These measures strike at the heart of Russia’s military-industrial complex, its shadow fleet, and the networks that fuel Moscow’s hybrid attacks against Europe,” Kallas said. Recent incidents have intensified scrutiny of Russia-linked tankers, with Romania and Bulgaria moving to set up a joint security hub in the Black Sea to monitor suspected shadow fleet routes.
