EU forces boarded a Russian tanker suspected of being part of the shadow fleet in the Mediterranean, confirming it was sailing under a false flag. The operation, conducted by EU Naval Force IRINI, aims to disrupt Russia's activities at sea and through diplomatic channels. New sanctions against Russia are expected to be approved by EU Foreign Ministers, targeting banks and companies supporting the shadow fleet. The operation, launched in March 2020, focuses on enforcing the UN arms embargo on Libya and combating illegal activities in the region. The mandate has been extended until March 2029, with a new focus on limiting the shadow fleet's operations.
