French naval forces have detained the oil tanker Tagor in the Atlantic Ocean. The vessel is under international sanctions and was traveling from Russia.
This was stated by French President Emmanuel Macron on X, according to Ukrinform.
"Yesterday morning, the French Navy intercepted another oil tanker under international sanctions that was coming from Russia — Tagor. Our determination remains constant and unwavering," Macron wrote.
According to him, the operation was carried out in the Atlantic Ocean, in international waters, with the support of several partners, including the United Kingdom, and in full compliance with maritime law.
"It is unacceptable for vessels to circumvent international sanctions, violate maritime law, and finance the war that Russia has been waging against Ukraine for more than four years," the French president stressed.
