The European Commission is expected to propose sanctions on ships flouting the G7 oil price cap on Russia, as well as vessels delivering North Korean military equipment to Russia, Reuters said.

  • The EC is finalising its proposal for a 14th package of sanctions against Moscow.
  • The oil related sanctions will target the “shadow fleet” moving oil at prices above the G7 price cap.

  • The third country companies are based in the UAE, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, and China.
