The European Union landed troops on a Russian shadow fleet tanker in the Mediterranean.
On November 13, the forces of the EU's maritime operation IRINI intercepted the tanker MV Midag of the Russian shadow fleet in the Mediterranean, said the head of European diplomacy Kaya Callas. According to her, the landing came up and confirmed that the ship was flying a false flag. The inspection took place in accordance with Article 110 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
"The European Union intends to continue the fight against the Russian shadow fleet both at sea and through diplomatic means," Kalas said. She also noted that on November 16, EU foreign ministers must approve new sanctions against the Russian Federation: banks, buyers of Russian oil and companies that help the shadow fleet will be blacklisted.
On the night of October 31, Swedish special forces carried out an attack on a cargo ship of a company suspected of Russian hybrid activity in Europe. The army went down and checked the travel documents of the team, which is made up of Russian citizens. The representative office of the operating company is registered in the Kaliningrad region. Its vessels have previously been spotted in areas where unidentified UFOs have been reported.
