EU Targets Russia's 'Shadow Fleet' in New Sanctions

The EU is planning new sanctions against Russia, this time targeting a group of ships called the 'shadow fleet'.

These ships are owned by Russia but sail under different countries' flags to avoid sanctions on oil and gas imports.

They help Russia make a lot of money by selling oil to countries like India and China.

The shadow fleet is causing problems in the Baltic region, where ships are damaging underwater cables and operating without proper insurance.

The EU wants to make it harder for these ships to avoid sanctions by giving countries more power to inspect and board them.
