What is Russia's shadow fleet doing in African waters?
Published 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Description
A vessel carrying Russian oil suffered an explosion off the coast of Senegal last December, prompting investigations into the presence of a Russian shadow fleet in African waters. The tanker is reportedly among several vessels trying to flout US, EU and UK sanctions on Russia.
