Prime Ministers of Ukraine and Croatia, Denys Shmyhal and Andrii Plenkovich discussed creation of a joint working group to monitor and counter the activities of the Russian shadow fleet, which is used to circumvent international sanctions.
“Another topic of our conversation with Prime Minister Plenkovich was the question of how we can weaken the aggressor – Russia. Sanctions remain the number one tool. It is important to continue countering the Russian shadow fleet. It is not only a tool for circumventing the sanctions used by the Putin regime, but also as a means of harming NATO member states.
Mr. Prime Minister and I agreed on the possibility of creating a joint Ukrainian-Croatian working group that monitors the illegal activities of the Russian shadow fleet.” Shmyhal noted.
He also emphasized the importance of continuing the sanctions policy and supporting the “International Register of Damages”, which Croatia is already working on. In addition, Ukraine insists on the confiscation of frozen Russian assets and their further use for the reconstruction of the country after the war.
We will remind that on January 29, the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal arrived in Zagreb, where he held meetings with Andrii Plenkovich and the Speaker of the Croatian Parliament Gordan Jandrokovich.
