Show Notes
Russia is the most sanctioned nation on planet earth. So, what happens when the US issues a waiver allowing the sale of Russian oil on sanctioned vessels?
We're entering legal murky waters!
Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Kyrre Kjellevold, Associate Professor at University of South-Eastern Norway, and Marina Fridman, Data Journalist at NRK, to ask: Can you switch off sanctions on a Russian shadow fleet?
The panel discuss: How a shadow network was built, the reported that exposed it, and what happens when an illegal network receives a temporary hall pass!
Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles Editor: Dominic Delargy Video: Loïs Dunford
