The big one are the 200 additional vessels of the Russian shadow fleet. That fleet has a total size of about 600 vessels so that is going to hurt.

Should have been done years ago.

If the shadow fleet has no transponders/nobody owns them, they wont miss them if we sink them then.

The problem is that a complete blockade of Russia would drive up the oil price. Russia can probably still move around sanctions in some way, which would allow them to sell oil at high prices. Hence you got the price cap. However thanks to Trump destroying the US and somewhat global economy and OPEC increasing production, lowering Russian oil exports becomes much easier.

That is why it only happens now.

Boycott Russia completely.
