Royal Marine commandos boarded the Russian shadow fleet tanker – the Smyrtos – early this morning in a six hour operation, backed by British military aircraft, a frigate and a minehunter.
The vessel has been accused of exporting Russian oil products for at least a year – in breach of international sanctions. Ukraine’s foreign minister welcomed the raid, saying “every such vessel stopped, means less money for the Russian war machine”.
