Europe plans large-scale operation against Russian shadow fleet
European countries bordering the Baltic Sea are advancing discussions to seize Russian oil tankers associated with the 'shadow fleet,' which operates to bypass sanctions imposed by the West. This initiative aims to combat the environmental risks posed by these vessels and respond to recent incidents of undersea sabotage linked to Russian operations. New legislation is being drafted that would allow for the seizure of these ships on grounds of environmental protection or piracy. Estonia's Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna highlighted that approximately 50% of sanctioned Russian oil trade transits through the Gulf of Finland, raising significant concerns about the potential for environmental damage. The proposed measures may also involve creating a list of 'reliable' marine insurers to facilitate detentions. Overall, these efforts reflect a concerted push by EU nations to enhance maritime security and enforce sanctions against Russia's energy exports.
