YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFrance has boarded a Russia-linked oil tanker in the Atlantic in a dramatic operation targeting Moscow’s sanctions‑evading “shadow fleet.” The seizure, carried out with support from the UK, is one of several recent actions aimed at cutting off revenues tied to the war in Ukraine. An analyst calls the move “long overdue” and suggests it may signal a more assertive phase in how NATO countries enforce sanctions at sea. But Russia has condemned the operation as “illegal” and “bordering on piracy,” raising questions about whether this marks a turning point - or a new source of tension - on the high seas.
