In early July, Greenpeace activists went to the Baltic Sea to document the “Kira K” tanker of the so-called “shadow fleet,” which is under sanctions. Soon, a Russian warship accompanying the tanker approached the activists and began to warn Greenpeace.

The campaign was attended by Natalia Gozak, the director of Greenpeace Ukraine, who documented the entire incident involving the Russian warship. USM spoke with the activist about what the “Kira K” incident shows, why the ship’s appearance near the tanker is an important signal for the countries of the Baltic region, and what environmental risks such shipments pose.

Activists are calling on Stockholm to take more decisive action, as the Russian “shadow fleet” not only finances the war, but also threatens the ecology of the Baltic Sea.

On Friday, April 12, Greenpeace activists started a protest against a bunkering vessel that was spotted in the gas station of the so-called Russian “shadow fleet”.

Activists of the environmental protection organization Greenpeace blocked a tanker with russian diesel fuel in Great Britain in May of last year. So far, all charges against the group of protesters have been dropped.
