The European Union reported the arrest of a false flag ship allegedly linked to Russia.
The head of European diplomacy, Kaya Callas, reported that the European Union's maritime operations forces landed on a tanker in the Mediterranean Sea, which is allegedly linked to Russia. She published the relevant information on her page on the X social network.
According to her, the European military detained the ship MV MIDAG and inspected it in accordance with Article 110 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. As a result of the inspection, it became clear that the tanker had raised a false flag.
The details of the operation and the further fate of the vessel are not disclosed. Before that, the Financial Times wrote that tankers from Russia that went to the United States as part of the "diesel deal" did not reach their destination.
