President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked France after its navy intercepted another Russian-linked oil tanker, urging Europe to update its laws so such vessels can be seized, not just stopped. “There has been another interception of a Russian tanker – thank you, France,” Zelensky said in his evening address. “It is important that Europe takes a strong step and modernizes its legislation so that such tankers can not only be stopped, but also seized.”JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. “The oil Russia is so eager to use to finance its war should instead be used to finance protection against aggression,” he added. The remarks came after France said Monday that it had detained the suspected Russian oil tanker Tagor in the Atlantic over the weekend, in the latest such operation aimed at combating Moscow’s sanctions-busting “shadow fleet.” The Tagor was detained Sunday morning in international waters with the help of Britain and other partners, French President Emmanuel Macron said. According to French authorities, the tanker was on its way from Murmansk in northwestern Russia when it was seized. The ship was falsely flying a Cameroonian flag and was heading toward Limbe, a seaside city in western Cameroon, a spokesperson for the maritime prefecture said. “It is unacceptable for ships to circumvent international sanctions, violate the law of the sea, and fund the war that Russia has been waging against Ukraine for more than 4 years,” Macron said.
