Macron says French Navy, backed by the UK, intercepted a sanctioned tanker from Russia

In a significant move against Russia's evasion of international sanctions, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that the French Navy, with support from the UK, intercepted a sanctioned Russian tanker. This action underscores the international effort to clamp down on Russia's "shadow fleet," believed to be comprised of hundreds of ships used to bypass sanctions imposed due to the ongoing conflict. Such operations highlight the global commitment to enforcing sanctions and maintaining international law amidst the war.
