Russia’s “shadow fleet” or ghost fleet is quietly reshaping global geopolitics. 🚨
In this video, we uncover how sanctions-evading Russian oil tankers continue to operate despite Western crackdowns — smuggling oil, hiding ownership, switching off tracking systems, and even threatening undersea communication cables.
Recent U.S. seizures of Russian-linked tankers in the North Atlantic and Caribbean, tied to Venezuelan oil exports, have exposed a vast secret network of aging vessels. By mid-2024, Russia’s shadow fleet reportedly included 600+ tankers, carrying over 70% of Russia’s oil exports, helping Moscow boost oil and gas revenues by 41% despite sanctions.
The video also explores shocking allegations that some of these ships may be equipped with spy equipment and could sabotage critical undersea infrastructure in Europe — including power and internet cables in the Baltic Sea, Finland, Estonia, Germany, and Sweden.
In this video, you’ll learn: What Russia’s shadow/ghost fleet really is | How oil tankers evade sanctions by going “dark” | Why ship-to-ship oil transfers are hard to track | How undersea cables are being damaged | Why aging tankers pose environmental & security risks | What this means for global energy security & geopolitics
