Germany Announces Additional Measures Against Russian Fleet
Germany is taking action against Russia's 'shadow fleet' of tankers.
These tankers help Russia sell its oil, even though other countries have put restrictions on buying it.
Germany's government said they will do more to stop these tankers from operating in the Baltic and North Seas.
They are trying to limit Russia's money from selling oil, which started after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
This is meant to make it harder for Russia to continue its actions.
Germany announced further measures to counter Russia's 'shadow fleet'.
The German Foreign Ministry made the announcement in a statement.
Western sanctions on Russia led to a 'shadow fleet' of tankers.
This fleet assists Moscow in maintaining its crude exports.
The measures target the Baltic and North Seas.
