On the arrest of the tank MV Midag by the naval mission EUNAVFOR MED IRINI in the Mediterranean Sea on November 13, the head of European diplomacy Kaya Calles said on the social network X. She attached photos to the message showing European soldiers marking the tank. Kalas said MV Midag was flying a false flag. "The EU will continue to disrupt the activities of Russia's shadow fleet, both directly at sea and through diplomatic means," Kalas wrote. She added that on November 16, EU foreign ministers plan to approve new sanctions against Russia, including against banks, buyers and companies that support the "Shadow Navy". The European Union's mission of the European Union began operating in 2020, initially to enforce the embargo on Libya. Subsequently, EU countries expanded the mission's mandate to carry out inspections of other vessels. Photo: Kallas Account at X @dwglavnoe.
