On December 16, 2024, the European Union approved its 15th package of sanctions against Russia, targeting a total of 84 individuals and entities. This package includes restrictions on 54 individuals and 30 organizations, with specific measures aimed at the so-called 'shadow fleet' of Russian tankers involved in the transportation of oil and military equipment. The sanctions also extend to companies from China and North Korea. The measures are designed to counteract previous sanctions evasion and to weaken Russia's military-industrial complex amid ongoing tensions related to its actions in Ukraine.
