A new investigation by POLITICO and the nonprofit journalism group SourceMaterial reveals that Russian President Vladimir Putin is dispatching a so-called shadow fleet across the world. It’s a collection of covert ships defying Western sanctions and spreading environmental harm without consequences. POLITICO’s Victor Jack breaks down the origins of Putin's shadow fleet and how it’s spilling oil all over the world. Plus, the Biden administration finalized a long-awaited rule for a new tax credit under Democrats’ climate law.
