The president of the terrorist country called the detention of ships carrying Russian oil “piracy” and “illegal actions” and promised that he would “respond” to such cases.
This is reported by “Hromadske”.
Putin stated that the concept of a “shadow fleet” does not exist in international maritime law, so the detention of these ships is “illegal actions”.
“As for the seizure of some ships, this is piracy. What do they do with the pirates? They destroy them. This does not mean that a war will break out across the entire World Ocean tomorrow. But the level of risk of collisio. ns will seriously increase,” said the leader of the aggressor country.
In particular, he commented on the detention in France of the oil tanker Boracay, which is suspected of belonging to the “shadow fleet” of the Russian Federation.
“The tanker was seized in neutral waters without any grounds. They were probably looking for military cargo and drones there. There is nothing like that there and cannot be. The tanker is under the flag of a third country, the crew is international. Honestly, I don’t know how much this is connected with the Russian Federation. But I know that there is such a fact,” Putin said.
