"A notable aspect of shadow fleet narratives in pro-Kremlin media is what they leave out.
There is extensive discussion about EU countries legally detaining a vessel, but much less about why Russia needed a sanctions-evasion fleet in the first place.
Its purpose is to conceal ownership, obscure the origin of Russian oil, and circumvent international sanctions imposed in response to Russia’s war against Ukraine."

How Russia’s shadow fleet keeps slipping through Europe’s net.
Russia’s vast “shadow fleet” of vessels has been seen primarily as a means of keeping the Kremlin’s oil revenues flowing despite Western sanctions.
