According to a report by Coin World, if Russian President Vladimir Putin fails to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine by this Friday, the Trump administration is considering implementing additional sanctions on Russia's 'shadow fleet,' according to the Financial Times. If the shadow fleet is blacklisted, it would mark the first time the U.S. has imposed sanctions on Russia since Trump returned to the White House in January. Two informed sources revealed that there is a belief within the White House that imposing additional sanctions on the shadow fleet is a 'simple first step' to exert pressure on Russia. Another informed source stated that the government is considering a range of options, including fleet sanctions.
