Ukraine announced that its military campaign against Russia’s "shadow fleet" has now hit 201 vessels in just three weeks. According to Ukrainian officials, the strikes have permanently severed the main supply route to the occupied Crimean peninsula. The shadow fleet refers to aging, often uninsured tankers used by Russia to bypass Western sanctions on its oil exports. Kyiv says the sustained attacks have effectively cut off Crimea from critical fuel and military resupply by sea. The announcement comes as the U.S. Senate approved new legislation granting President Trump the authority to impose tariffs of up to 500% on Russian oil. The measure is designed to pressure Moscow into ending the war, now in its 1,617th day.
