President Emmanuel Macron said that France is forced to release a recently detained tanker belonging to Russia’s shadow fleet due to national legislation requirements.
The platforms targeted were the V. Filanovsky, Yuri Korchagin, and Valery Greifer facilities. These sites reportedly supported the Russian invasion forces.
In the Black Sea waters within the Odesa district, oily slicks have been recorded on the water's surface due to oil entering the sea as a result of a Russian attack.
The oil tanker Kairos stranded off the Black Sea port of Ahtopol and believed to be part of the “shadow fleet” used by Russia to evade international sanctions linked to its war in Ukraine.
