Coalition of the willing: Macron wants to intensify fight against Russia's shadow fleet
In a phone call, the French President emphasises the power of the countries involved. They must take more active action against sanctioned ships and thus prevent Russian imports.
French President Emmanuel Macron plans to take stronger action against Russia's shadow fleet and restrict the country's import of raw materials. He proposed a ministerial meeting in a few weeks to discuss combating the shadow fleet and enforcing sanctions on exports of gas, oil, and diesel to Russia. France has already seized several oil tankers it accuses of being part of the Russian shadow fleet.
Macron made these statements during a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, a group supporting Ukraine. The coalition plans a multinational force to ensure Ukraine's security once the war ends.
