Ukraine Hits Key Russian Oil-Loading Port on Baltic Sea and 2 ‘Shadow Fleet’ Tankers

The port of Primorsk, operated by Russia’s state oil firm Transneft, is capable of handling hundreds of thousands of barrels per day. The port, which was targeted multiple times in March, lies over 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) from Ukraine, between the Russian-Finnish border and Russia’s second-largest city of St. Petersburg.
