Ukraine has launched a devastating series of covert strikes on Russia’s shadow fleet, crippling five tankers between January 28 and June 29, 2025. These vessels, including the Seacharm, Grace Ferrum, and Vilamoura, were hit in the Black Sea, Mediterranean, and even Russian ports. Each strike targeted propulsion systems, rendering ships inoperable without sinking them.
These attacks come as Russia’s shadow fleet has ballooned to 400–600 ships, facilitating oil exports worth over $610 billion since 2022. With 70% of Russia’s seaborne oil trade relying on these clandestine vessels, Ukraine’s precision sabotage operations are a direct assault on Putin’s war funding. The West’s sanctions may blacklist ships, but Ukraine is sinking them.
