Trump may impose sanctions on Russia's "shadow fleet"
According to insiders, the new sanctions should be the first serious step in a strategy to increase pressure on the team of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
Journalists point out that August 8 — Trump's deadline for the Kremlin to end the war — has truly become a sacred date.
Under the current Western-linked sanctions regime, companies are prohibited from buying sea-borne oil at prices above the G7 limit of $60 per barrel. The shadow fleet has allowed Russia to ship oil at prices above that threshold, mostly to China and India.
The head of the White House is increasingly furious that Putin is showing disrespect for the United States and ignoring Trump's demands.
He made it clear that “Moscow will pay a high price” if it does not want to negotiate peace with Ukraine.
"It all depends on what Witkoff comes back with. If he comes back empty-handed, with absolutely no results, Trump will be furious," one insider told reporters.
