Macron Announces the Detention of a Tanker Traveling from Russia

Macron announced the detention of a tanker traveling from Russia

"Yesterday morning, the French Navy detained another oil tanker under international sanctions that was traveling from Russia, the Tagor. Our resolve remains unchanged and absolute.

This operation was carried out in the Atlantic Ocean, on the high seas, with the support of several partners, including the United Kingdom, in strict compliance with international maritime law.

It is unacceptable for ships to evade international sanctions, violate maritime law, and finance the war that Russia has been waging against Ukraine for more than four years.

These vessels, which do not comply even with the most basic rules of navigation, also pose a threat to the environment and the safety of all participants in maritime traffic"
