EU prepares sanctions against Russia's 'shadow fleet' after damaging cables in the Baltic Sea

The European Union will propose sanctions against the “shadow fleet” of Russia after damage to underwater cables in the Baltic Sea.

This is stated in a joint statement of the European Commission and the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy.

Yes, the statement condemned any deliberate destruction of Europe's critical infrastructure.

“The suspect vessel is part of Russia's shadow fleet, which threatens security and the environment while funding Russia's military budget. We will propose further measures, including sanctions, against this fleet”, – the message says.

In response to these incidents, the bloc intends to strengthen efforts to protect submarine cables, including improved information sharing, new detection technologies, as well as underwater repair capabilities and international cooperation.
