The Western quest to strangle Russia's "shadow fleet" is facing challenges in its goal to limit Moscow's fossil fuel revenues. Despite EU and European country bans on Russian oil and gas, Russia has shown resilience with 20 billion euros ($21.8 billion) worth of fossil fuels sold in the first half of this year. Experts say a more radical escalation of the energy war may be needed to disrupt Russia's supplies. However, some argue that steps like blocking the Baltic Sea could limit global energy supply and spur inflation.
