Russia is the most sanctioned nation on planet earth. So, what happens when the US issues a waiver allowing the sale of Russian oil on sanctioned vessels?  We're entering legal murky waters! Our expert host, Robin Lycka , is joined by Kyrre Kjellevold , Associate Professor at University of South-Eastern Norway , and Marina Fridman , Data Journalist at NRK , to ask: Can you switch off sanctions on a Russian shadow fleet?
