At today’s #FAC, ministers are discussing action against Russia’s #ShadowFleet: aging tankers dodging sanctions, funding the war & posing major environmental & security risks. In #UnpowerRussia we argue they should be intercepted & seized if necessary ➡️ ow.ly/MgPL50VWxzx

The Western Indian Ocean is vital to Europe’s energy, trade & digital connectivity, but maritime security remains fragile. The EU can help strengthen stability by supporting alignment of vision, resources & partnerships amid intensifying competition.
