I was in Dnipro today. A missile hit this building earlier this year. 46 people burned and evaporated.

Dnipro is close to the border and missiles can come any time without warning.

Yesterday, there was an attack and more people died.

Kyiv School of Economics advocates another way to hit Russian oil revenues: completely blocking oil tankers from key sea routes and ports unless they have proper international P&I insurance — Brookings

This would cut Russia’s oil export tax revenues from the Baltic by 5.6–14% 1/ Image
If a tanker is stopped, the pressure shifts to the country whose flag it sails under.

Russia registers its tankers in poor states and insures them there.

If the EU forces those states to enforce real insurance rules, former flag countries won’t give these ships insurance.

2/
This is also beneficial for Europe.

Currently, if an accident with a tanker from shadow fleet occurs, European taxpayers pay for it. In a new approach, the tanker will simply not be allowed to go to sea.

But if an accident does occur, the country of registration will pay.

Russia is prosecuting journalists as “terrorists” — to erase them from prisoner swaps.
