The new package of British sanctions includes 100 tankers that are part of the so-called "shadow fleet" used by russia to export oil and petroleum products.
Sanctions were also imposed against a vessel that participates in benefiting or supporting the kremlin.
The companies affected include BX Energy, Nord Axis, Soglasie Insurance Company and Romarine AS.
London also imposed sanctions on the management of 2Rivers Group - Tahir Garayev, Ahmed Kerimov, Anar Madatli, Talat Safarov and Etibar Eyyub.

And according to the Financial Times, the European Union has prepared sanctions against companies from five countries that help russia circumvent previously imposed restrictions.
