FIUGGI, Italy (Reuters) - Britain is imposing the biggest sanctions package against Russia's shadow fleet, including 30 vessels, foreign minister David Lammy said on Monday, urging G7 allies to stand with, and equip, Ukraine for as long as it needs.

Before a meeting of the G7 foreign ministers, Lammy told reporters Britain was announcing "the biggest sanctions package of the Russian shadow fleet", referring to a fleet Britain says uses practices to avoid Western restrictions on Russian oil.
