Senate would urge Trump Administration to seize Russian oil vessels
This resolution would have the Senate formally ask the Trump Administration to seize "shadow fleet" vessels. These ships are used by Russia to transport oil, which helps fund its war in Ukraine despite international sanctions. The Senate would also call on other countries to do the same.
Today, Russia uses a "shadow fleet" of at least 561 ships to export about 5.7 million barrels of sanctioned oil per day, funding its war in Ukraine. If this resolution were adopted, the Senate would formally condemn this practice and urge the Trump Administration to seize these vessels. It would also call on international allies to take similar actions, potentially increasing the risk of seizure for these ships.
