The United States considers such strikes a tool to put pressure on Russia, although it acknowledges the risks to the global energy market.
The Trump administration has effectively given Ukraine the green light to strike Russia’s “shadow fleet,” The Atlantic reported, citing American and Ukrainian officials.
Journalists note that while under Joe Biden, Washington feared escalation and opposed attacks on Russian vessels in international waters, the approach has changed with the arrival of the Republican administration.
According to The Atlantic, Trump did not object to strikes against Russian oil logistics in international waters and, in several cases, approved the transfer of intelligence to Kyiv that was used to target Russian oil infrastructure facilities.
It is noted that the United States considers such strikes a tool to pressure Russia, although it acknowledges the risks to the global energy market.

Holy Moly……………….THATS WHY THESE ATTACKS………HAHAHAHA
Although the intelligence is helpful, Ukraine does not need the permission of the temporary occupant of the White House.
“The United States considers such strikes a tool to put pressure on Russia, although it acknowledges the risks to the global energy market.”
BS. These ships are already under US sanctions, so they won’t affect any global market.
