Russian-flagged ships are now barred from entering ports in Belgium, Bulgaria and Italy under EU sanctions, but there are many exceptions.
The fifth round of EU sanctions imposed over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine includes the port ban, but the EU statement on 8 April said “exemptions apply for medical, food, energy and humanitarian purposes, amongst others”.
Belgian and Italian media say Russian ships can still to deliver to the EU: oil, gas, petroleum products, various metals, wheat and other grains, fertiliser, pharmaceuticals and nuclear fuel for civilian atomic energy.
Russian ships will also be allowed into EU ports in emergency cases, such as for urgent repairs.
Belgian broadcaster RTBF said that of a dozen Russian ships heading for Belgian ports on Sunday only three would face an entry ban.
Russia continues to export huge quantities of energy to the EU daily, with Germany and many other EU members heavily reliant on it. Ukraine and many of its supporters in Europe deplore the EU’s failure to put Russian energy under sanctions.
Some Russian oligarchs' yachts and other Russian vessels have been seized in France, Italy and elsewhere in the EU under the sanctions.
