    From the article …

    The “shadow fleet” refers to ageing oil tankers, the identities of which are hidden to help circumvent western economic sanctions imposed on Moscow since it launched its full-scale military invasion of Ukraine at the start of 2022.

    the draft G7 statement seen by Bloomberg News shows the US pushed to remove the word “sanctions” as well as wording citing Russia’s “ability to maintain its war” in Ukraine by replacing it with “earn revenue”.

        I mean the sanctions didn’t really affect Russia’s ability to maintain the SMO although I suppose

        They did have to work allot harder to get around it, and what Canada is trying to do now is close that loophole that Russia had worked so hard on to exploit.

        This is Trump allowing Russia to keep using that loophole.
