Indemnity body refuses to ask members to stop insuring ships carrying Russian oil

Exclusive: IGP&I says Greek shippers are acting legally, in rebuff to Ukrainian anti-corruption agency

A City of London body whose members comprise the world's biggest shipping insurers is embroiled in a row with Ukraine's anti-corruption agency over enabling the export of Russian oil, the Guardian can reveal.

The International Group of Protection and Indemnity Clubs (IGP&I), whose members insure 90% of the world's ocean-going tonnage, has enraged Ukrainian officials after failing to dissuade its members from insuring the transport of the Russian fossil fuel.
