Russia exports more than a third of its oil using Western tankers, primarily to countries like India, and relies on Western shipping services. Trade is mainly conducted through fleets of EU maritime nations, including Greece, Cyprus, and Malta, and the ban would end this trade. The remaining two-thirds of Russian oil exports are carried out by a fleet of hundreds of tankers operating outside Western oversight and maritime standards, known as a "shadow fleet." If the G7 and EU implement a ban on maritime services, Russia will need to expand this fleet. Three of the six sources said the ban could be part of the next round of EU sanctions against Russia, scheduled for early 2026. Two of the six sources said the EUs 27 member states hope to ratify the ban along with a broader G7 agreement before proposing a comprehensive package of sanctions.
