EU sanctions targeted almost 200 ships from Russia ’s “shadow fleet” illicitly transporting oil to skirt Western restrictions.

U.K. also targeted the shadow fleet with 100 new sanctions and also aimed at disrupting the supply chains of Russian weapons, officials say.

Russia launched 108 Shahed and decoy drones at Ukraine overnight, the Ukrainian air force says.

Estonian defense minister: “ Russia actually doesn’t want to end this war.” EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas : Russia ’s failure to negotiate in good faith should trigger U.S. sanctions.

In Kyiv, there was skepticism about Putin 's motives. Peace “is not possible now. Only when (the Russians ) run out of resources and army manpower. They are ready to fight, at least for this summer ”.
