In the Mediterranean, France has boarded another shadow fleet vessel, the Deyna.
French President Macron:
“The war involving Iran will not deflect France from its support for Ukraine, where Russia’s war of aggression continues unabated.
These vessels, which evade international sanctions and violate the law of the sea, are profiteers of war. They line their pockets while helping finance Russia’s war effort.
We will not allow it.”
@randahl @zbrando The tanker was seized and diverted to the Fos-sur-Mer oil terminal (part of the Port of Marseille-Fos). An investigation is under way. In the meantime, the "Deyna" will be kept at the disposal of the public prosecutor's office.

French authorities in Marseille took control of an oil tanker suspected of sanctions busting on Monday after it arrived in the southern French port days after it was intercepted for being part of a "shadow fleet" used by Russia to export its oil.
