The Ministry of Defense stated this Wednesday (7) that it supported efforts to seize a Russian-flagged oil tanker in the North Atlantic, including with air force aircraft. In a statement, British Defense Secretary John Healey said the action was part of global efforts to crack down on sanctions violations.
“This ship, with a nefarious history, is part of a Russian-Iranian axis of sanctions evasion that fuels terrorism, conflict and suffering from the Middle East to Ukraine. The UK will continue to step up its actions against parallel fleet activity to protect our national security, our economy and global stability, making Britain safe at home and strong abroad.”
