EU forces inspect Russian Shadow Fleet vessel
The Italian Ministry of Defense stated that a European Union mission led by Italy inspected a Russian "Shadow Fleet" tanker near the Mediterranean Sea to verify the authenticity of its flag and registration documents. The tanker, which is flying the Cameroonian flag and is subject to EU sanctions, was en route from Benin to Istanbul. The inspection, which lasted approximately two hours, involved naval and air forces from multiple countries, and the vessel was not detained. This operation follows previous measures against ships suspected of operating under false Russian flags, as part of the EU's efforts to impose a ban on Russian oil exports and dismantle the "Shadow Fleet" that Moscow uses to bypass sanctions.
