EU Sends Warning To Russia As It Boards ‘Shadow Fleet’ Tanker
Newsweek's Ellie Cook reports that EU forces boarded a tanker suspected of belonging to Russia's 'shadow fleet', with Kaja Kallas saying the ship, identified as the MV MIDAG, was sailing under a false flag in the Mediterranean. Kaja Kallas said the EU will keep disrupting the fleet, and that EU ministers would vote Monday on new sanctions, including against companies supporting it. Western officials say the aging tankers let Russia dodge sanctions and carry most of its sanctioned oil.
