The latest package targets shadow fleet vessels transporting Russian oil and liquefied natural gas, major coal companies, and Rosneft's Vostok Oil project, according to a Thursday release. Oil company Slavneft was also added to the sanctions list, resulting in the British government sanctioning all 10 of Russia's major oil producers.
