Really appreciate you sharing this. I agree that aligning sanctions is low-hanging fruit, and it’s shocking that only 43 vessels are sanctioned jointly by the US, UK, and EU out of 343 tracked. It feels like a strategic failure.

I’ve also been following the NATO Baltic Sentry mission and started wondering:

Is the core issue weak sanctions, or the lack of coordinated enforcement?

From where I’m sitting, it seems like Russia is testing both.
