EU Naval Forces Intercept Sixth Russian Shadow Fleet Tanker
European Union naval forces intercepted and boarded a suspected Russian 'shadow fleet' oil tanker, marking the sixth such vessel detained as part of a broader sanctions crackdown. EU Chief Diplomat Kaja Kallas confirmed the operation, stating it is part of an ongoing effort to prevent Moscow from bypassing international oil price caps and environmental regulations. The vessel was reportedly transporting crude oil under a fraudulent flag of convenience.
