The government of Bangladesh has imposed restrictions barring the entry of 69 Russian ships into its maritime waters in line with US and EU sanctions. This means that Russian vessels will not be able to bring in shipments of imports, stop for fuelling, anchor in the area, or even use sea routes. As a result of these new sanctions, Bangladesh will find it difficult to conduct any trade with Russia. “If any product comes to Bangladesh on these ships, then Bangladesh will also be added to the ban. However, some import agents who have had long working relationships with these Russian vessels may be impacted, Azam noted.
