Belgium Seizes Russian ‘Shadow Fleet Tanker’ in North Sea

Belgium has seized a Russian oil tanker in the North Sea as part of efforts to enforce Western sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. The tanker, believed to be part of Russia's "shadow fleet" used to circumvent these sanctions, was boarded and seized by Belgian special forces on Sunday. This action is a significant step in the ongoing international efforts to hold Russia accountable for its military aggression and to disrupt its ability to profit from its actions. The seizure of this tanker underscores the determination of Western nations to enforce the sanctions regime and to target the financial and logistical networks that support Russia's war in Ukraine.
