The Atlantic: The US has given Ukraine tacit approval to strike Russia's "shadow fleet" transporting oil

According to the magazine, unlike the approach of Joe Biden's team, which was wary of escalation, the new Republican administration not only did not obstruct the attacks but, in several cases, provided intelligence to support them.

Against this backdrop, Ukraine has recently destroyed five such tankers, The Atlantic reports. Moscow has called these actions "piracy" and threatened retaliatory measures.
