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. Kaja Kallas announced that the EU will continue to disrupt Russia's shadow fleet and new sanctions targeting banks and companies supporting it are expected. The shadow fleet helps Russia evade Western sanctions on its oil industry by using old vessels and complex ownership structures. Operation Irini, aimed at enforcing the UN arms embargo on Libya, has expanded its mandate to include limiting the activities of this fleet in the Mediterranean.
