Parliament adopted a resolution on EU actions against Russia's shadow fleets and on ensuring full enforcement of sanctions against Russia.
The text condemns Russia's use of shadow fleets, which it calls a key financial lifeline for Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
It calls for measures such as a full ban on re-exported Russian refined oil products and stricter inspections of suspicious ships.
