Russia considers targeting hostile commercial ships in neutral waters
Russian Deputy Defense Minister Dmitry Medvedev announced that Moscow has the right to target commercial ships belonging to hostile countries in Russian or neutral waters. This is in response to Western measures against Russian ships that disguise themselves as part of the "Shadow Fleet," carrying shipments that serve Russia's interests without flying the Russian flag. He clarified that these ships often register under countries like Panama, Liberia, and the Marshall Islands to take advantage of tax benefits. European countries do not have the authority to intercept or seize them, despite ongoing tensions with Europe over the interception of Russian ships in the Black Sea. Medvedev confirmed that Russia has the capability to expand its operations beyond the Black Sea if the escalation continues, indicating that Moscow reserves the right to target hostile ships if they are involved in transporting shipments that serve the interests of the other party, especially in the context of the escalation related to the war in Ukraine.
