> You don't need false documents, buying and operating a ship that has no direct ties to Russia and is registered at an other country isn't that hard at all You literally just described a program of falsifying documents! If you're buying and operating a ship, then to have "no ties to Russia" while using Russian money, someone is showing up with forged paperwork or some off-the-books bribes to make that happen. Drawing down those sorts of sums from a country's treasury isn't something you can actually just "do" - people have to take actions, funds transferred, meetings held and operations authorized. You are describing a system of resources which likely does exist, but is by no means easy to use or acquire and would not be expended unnecessarily.
