The Russian “Shadow Fleet” consists of old -fashioned oil tidies aimed at bypassing the sanctions imposed by Western countries on Russia, since its full invasion of Ukraine in 2022. These kidneys have been working disguised and allowing Russia to continue to export oil and fund the war in Ukraine, despite the international restrictions.
