A Reuters analysis reveals that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's threat to let the military board Russian shadow fleet vessels has had no visible effect, with nearly 100 ships crossing UK waters since the announcement. The shadow fleet, used to evade sanctions, continues operations unimpeded. The analysis underscores the challenge of enforcing maritime threats against Russia's covert shipping network.
