Britain seizes tanker connected to Russia
The British government announced the detention of a oil tanker in the English Channel suspected of being linked to the Russian "Shadow Fleet," in a rare move within efforts to tighten control over shipping activities related to sanctions imposed on Moscow. British Marines and the National Crime Agency participated in a operation targeting the tanker "Smyrtos," which is registered under the Cameroonian flag and is located near Portland Island. This step comes amid escalating Western pressure on Russia over allegations of relying on networks to transfer oil in order to circumvent sanctions. The detention signifies a more stringent British approach to combatting efforts to evade Western restrictions.
