YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

US forces seized a Russia-flagged ship in the north Atlantic that’s been at the center of a dramatic sea chase across the ocean, an aggressive expansion of its blockade of sanctioned vessels going to and from Venezuela.

The US European Command announced the capture of the M/V Bella 1 in a social media post, saying the ship was seized for sanctions violations “pursuant to a warrant issued by a US federal court” after being tracked by a US Coast Guard vessel.
