UK intercepts Russian shadow fleet vessel in Channel

LONDON: British forces on Sunday intercepted a sanctioned oil tanker belonging to Russia’s shadow fleet in a dramatic night-time operation hailed by Kyiv as a blow to Moscow’s war machine. Navy commandos boarded the ship in the English Channel by fast-roping from a helicopter in the dark, according to footage released by the ministry. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga welcomed the operation. “Russia’s shadow fleet is a tool of war. Every such vessel stopped means less money for Russia’s war machine,” he posted on social media.
