UK aids French mission to seize Russian ship

BRITAIN has helped to board and seize a Russian oil tanker in the Atlantic Ocean, France's President Emmanuel Macron has said.

The Tagor, a sanctioned tanker, was boarded by the French navy on Sunday in international waters, Mr Macron said in a post on social media.

It is the latest in a string of actions by Western nations to frustrate Moscow's so-called shadow fleet, the network of tankers used to export goods out of Russia and evade sanctions placed on the country after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
