Episode Details

France just seized a Russian oil tanker, the Tagor, in international waters — the fourth such operation since last fall — after discovering it flew a fake flag to dodge sanctions aimed at funding Ukraine’s war. President Macron defended the move as lawful and necessary, warning that these “shadow fleet” vessels pose serious environmental and safety risks. Russia called the boarding piracy and vowed to secure its cargo. Meanwhile, the UK has also authorized military boarding of sanctioned ships, yet nearly 200 such vessels have slipped into UK waters since March — highlighting the escalating global cat-and-mouse game to enforce sanctions.
