The tanker DF Peak was suspected of transporting sanctioned Russian fuel and was stopped by the French navy 450 nautical miles (833 kilometers) south of the French territory of R\u00e9union in the Indian Ocean.

“France is determined to fight the ghost fleet, wherever it is in the world,” Macron wrote on X. “This action, carried out in accordance with international maritime law, demonstrates our determination to uphold the rule of law and combat all illegal trade, wherever it occurs.” Read more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK is now sanctioning Dutch businessman Alexander Tattersall and Redwing Metal, the Turkish company he is a co-owner of, following Kyiv Independent’s revelation that he supplied machinery from the EU to Russian missile and combat aircraft manufacturers. The sanctions came four months after the revelations. Tattersall and Redwing Metal were blacklisted as part of a package of 38 designations announced by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) on October 8, targeting Russian oil companies, shadow fleet vessels, crypto exchanges, and suppliers of goods critical to Russia’s military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UK sanctions freeze all assets held by the designated individuals and companies under UK jurisdiction and prohibit UK citizens and companies from trading with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
