Russian sanctions

That this House condemns the ongoing, unprovoked, and illegal aggression of the Russian Federation both at home and across Europe; notes with grave concern the increasing hostility by Russian naval vessels and aircraft across northern European waters, including within the British Channel and the Norwegian Sea, which pose a direct threat to UK security; expresses alarm at the Russian shadow fleet actively bypassing international price caps and national sanctions to move roughly 40% of Russian oil; regrets that these illicit vessels transport sanctioned cargo near to UK territorial waters, bankrolling the Kremlin's brutal war machine in Ukraine; urges the Government to take a decisive stance by working alongside international allies to completely ban the provision of all maritime services for the export of Russian oil, oil products, gas, and coal, thereby choking off the critical energy revenues funding Putin's hybrid warfare and hostile regional aggression; and further urges the Government to expand its interdiction of Russian shadow vessels transporting oil illegally near UK waters, selling the captured cargo to raise money for Ukraine.
