On May 23, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a presidential decree imposing sanctions on the Russian "shadow fleet" and Russian personnel involved in the missile attacks on Ukrainian territory. The package of sanctions was adopted by the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council. One resolution targets the Russian "shadow fleet," involving 29 civilian merchant ships that provide supplies and troop deployments to the Russian military. Most of these ships are already under sanctions by the US, EU, and UK, and are considered by many international parties to be part of Russias military logistical support capacity. Western countries accuse Russia of using commercial vessels such as oil tankers to evade Western sanctions, referring to these vessels as the "shadow fleet." Another sanctions resolution involves 127 Russian personnel who were directly involved in the missile attacks against Ukraine, targeting key infrastructure and civilian facilities within Ukraine, causing serious damage to local livelihoods, social order, and the safety of peoples lives and property.On May 23, the joint China-Nepalese scientific expedition team successfully summited Mount Everest from the Nepalese side and conducted scientific sampling work, including ice core drilling, completing the first-ever drilling of a complete ice core sample from the summit of Mount Everest.
