During the period of the oil embargo and the G7+ countries’ price cap policy on russian crude oil and petroleum products, the tanker is being used—in particular in 2026—to export russian crude oil from russian ports on the Baltic and Black Seas to India.
The vessel is involved in the oil sector of the russian federation’s economy, the profits from which constitute one of the most important sources of revenue for the aggressor state’s budget.
On September 13, 2026, Ukraine imposed sanctions on the vessel.
