Moscova acuză Parisul de „piraterie” după ce Franța a confiscat încă un petrolier suspectat că face parte din „flota fantomă” a Rusiei

France has seized another tanker linked to Russia's 'phantom fleet', prompting Moscow to label the action as 'piracy'. The tanker, DF Peak, was escorted to Réunion for further investigation. This is the fifth vessel confiscated by France in 2024, as part of efforts to enforce sanctions against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine. The French military acted on suspicions regarding the ship's registration, which is under the Benin flag. Russia's embassy condemned the seizure, claiming it violates international law and is seeking to confirm if any crew members are Russian. President Macron emphasized France's commitment to combatting illegal oil transport.
