SUA au vândut la fier vechi două petroliere ale Rusiei. Putin dă ordin să fie confiscate nave ale Europei • Newsweek România

The U.S. has sold two confiscated Russian tankers, ERA and LILEO, for scrap, prompting Putin to order the seizure of European vessels in retaliation. The tankers were purchased by Global Marketing Systems and will be dismantled in India. This transaction is part of a broader U.S. campaign against Venezuela's oil exports. Putin's threats against the EU come after the arrest of Russian commercial ships, which he views as piracy. The ownership of these vessels remains opaque, complicating the sale process.
