The sanctions are already getting busted before they even came to effect. But of coursse you can continue believing in your fairy tale.
"The monthly average of both so-called dark activities and ship-to-ship operations in the south Atlantic doubled in the September to November period compared with the previous three months, according to an analysis of movements by the maritime intelligence company Windward. There were around 35 incidents of ‘dark activity’ in September, nearly 50 in October and numbers dipped to just over 40 in November.
Tankers able to hide any Russian links, by illicit transfers mid-ocean, would hope to avoid any price attestation of their cargo.
Ami Daniel, the chief executive of Windward, said Russia had been learning from Iran and North Korea over the past six months on how to circumvent sanctions.
He said: “We are seeing a growing cycle of learning and adoption of Russian fleet and Russian connected parties.”
The spike in dark activity in the south Atlantic had followed a smaller, and since reversed, period of activity in the north Atlantic, between May and August, he said.
Lloyd’s List then published a report at the end of July suggesting that five Chinese-owned ships were being used to transfer Russian oil at a hub about 860 nautical miles west of Portugal’s coast.
“Immediately we see a change of pattern,” said Daniel. “That’s when we see the uptick in the south Atlantic. These are known methods to avoid sanctions.”
‘Dark activities’ of Russian-linked oil tankers have doubled, analysis shows
Maritime intelligence firm points to rise in tankers switching off trackers for sanctions-busting transfers
Insight: Russian oil sanctions fuel boom for old tankers
The market for old oil tankers is booming, and it's all down to efforts by Western nations to curb trade in Russian crude.

Russia Seeks to Boost Recognition of its Shipping Insurance to Dodge Sanctions
November 30, 2022
Moscow is seeking to bolster the recognition of Russian maritime cargo insurance to allow it to ship oil and related products abroad in the face of Western sanctions, a government official was quoted as saying on Tuesday.
Western sanctions imposed in response to Russia’s military campaign in Ukraine have restricted Russia’s ability to secure costly liability insurance for its ships – a segment requiring financial heft and dominated by European reinsurers, in which Russia has little experience or capacity.
Deputy Transport Minister Alexander Poshivay, speaking at a China-Russia energy conference in Moscow, acknowledged the challenges faced by Russian shippers.
In addition to a lack of access to insurance services traditionally provided by European and U.S. companies, they had also had to deal with non-recognition of certificates issued by Russian insurers and the Russian National Reinsurance Company because Lloyd’s syndicates had declared Russian waters a war risk zone.
European Union and Group of Seven governments have been trying to agree on a price cap for Russian seaborne crude oil – which represents some 70%-85% of Russia’s crude exports – to restrict Moscow’s ability to finance its campaign in Ukraine.
The main tool to enforce it would be prohibiting shipping, insurance and re-insurance companies from handling cargoes of Russian crude around the globe, unless they had been sold for less than the cap set by the G7 and its allies.
Poshivay said Russian state-flagged vessels now being denied insurance by Western companies were being insured with Russian insurance companies and reinsured with the Russian National Reinsurance Company, according to Interfax.
“The issue (of recognition of Russian insurance) is to be worked out with the whole world,” Poshivay said, adding that the specific conditions “are determined by intergovernmental agreements.”
No comment was immediately available from Turkish, Indian or Chinese authorities. However, a source at a Turkish shipping company said Turkish authorities had not given any instructions or unofficial guidance on recognizing Russian insurance.
Poshivay suggested that China for one should recognize the certificates issued by Russian maritime insurance and reinsurance companies as guarantees of risk coverage.
He said that in the first nine months of this year, the Russian Federation had increased seaborne exports of hydrocarbons to China by 25%, to 87 million tonnes.

Actually we where there a few thousands years earlier , do consult your Quran.
It is also prophesized there , that before the end of days , the children of Israel will return to the promised land. Now you complain that your own prophecies are fulfilled. Strange.
Arabs are not the indigenous people to the land of Israel. They immigrated to the land of Israel from neighboring Arab countries.
This does not mean of course that they do not deserve a state.
But they blew that chance , when they refused the state offered to them in 1948 , and rejected a two states solution . Which was the only logical and just solution at that time.
Instead they decided to go to war , the bitter fruits of this decision we eat till this day.

So, literally you have no point. Other than your wild believe of whatever Kremlin feed you.The sanctions are already getting busted before they even came to effect. But of coursse you can continue believing in your fairy tale.

This was already proven to be a Russian S300 as geolocated to a Russian held area back then.

You did not mention other prophecies of Quran about "children of Israel" , facts and realities mentioned by Quran about you, your past activities and your future mentioned by Quran and Hadith.
I bet you know each of those, don't you?
And white settlers are real children of Israel? That's another debate. So far they are just migrants from different European and other countries who love to genocide local Palestinians and have pride in grabbing and stealing their lands and homes.

Well, in the evil oppressive west every man and women can protest. Even racists, rightists, leftists, facists, gays, environmentalists, idiots including the “kids of last generation”. The latter love to nail their hands on streets. They stop people from going to work.
Try do that in Putin’s paradise. If you land in gulags and return in once piece alive after years then you are a lucky person.
Your choice
However my friend western freedom has limits.
RT is a cheap russian propaganda broadcaster. And as such it is forbidden.
Everything is tolerable but not cheap foreign propaganda.

Yes, they have the right to protest, and get killed by the police, or jailed under some "traitor to the nation" law.
Yes, they do that but irrational citizens who align with the Capitalist and NATO-imperialist government help the government in throwing them off the road. These protesters are protesting for the current and future of every citizen of France, Europe and world but those irrational other citizens just, as you said, "want to go to work" which their parents did and these people's children will and so will their children. A never-ending cycle of dog-eat-dog Capitalism where people must "pay the bills" for even basic food, water, housing, electricity, telecom, healthcare, education, public transport etc, things that in Communist and Socialist societies are provided by the system for free. The below incident I came to know from Indian TV news as being a protest by workers who want raise in their wages because France's socio-economic system is beset with raised costs in everything and these workers' salaries make life difficult :
Furious Parisians forcefully remove disruptive climate activist
France has been crippled with road blockades for months by climate activists who have drawn inspiration from Just Stop Oil protesters' modus operandi.
During the Sri Lanka crisis some months ago there was a superb tweet by a Sri Lankan shown on the fine Indian TV news show Prime Time with Ravish which is no longer there because its channel, NDTV, has been taken over by Modi's Capitalist patron Adani so Ravish has left NDTV ( we must admire Ravish's ideological committment ). The tweet said that in Sri Lanka two working class people are fighting each other while the rich class remains unworried and benefits from the intra-working-class fight. That is what happened in the scene in France above.
Are there gulags in Russia anymore ? And in USSR there were to correct people. I see what happens in India every day and I wonder if these irrational, sociopathic and criminal people were in the USSR they would be rightfully sent to a gulag to take time to reflect and reform.
Oho ! How is "Western freedom limits" different from "Putin's oppression of citizens" ?
I was on a big Western platform until a month ago and I used to talk about Communism, Capitalism, Indian corporate immorality, dog attacks and yes, Ukraine and Israel. I think for these two last things I was banned multiple times and I recreated new accounts and I was banned, and then I simply abandoned that platform. So where went this hyped up "Freedom of expression and democracy" that NATO thumps up in the United Nations Terrorist Council again and again and again ?
1. By using the word "cheap" you are propagating an influence of Capitalist brainwashing.
2. How is RT unacceptable to you but BBC, Daily Fail, Yahoo News etc are not ?
Yes its a full on panic the he starts talking about patriots. He is very very worried about the patriots. And he should be.
