Kaja Kallas: 'We're turning up the pressure on Russia’s shadow fleet. The oil tanker MV SOUTH STAR, suspected of sailing under false flag in breach of international maritime law, has been boarded on 20 July by Operation EUNAVFOR MED IRINI forces for flag verification. Every illicit voyage helps sustain Russia's war machine. We are matching our sanctions with action at sea.In parallel, Member States this week have authorised EUNAVFOR Operation ATALANTA to begin conducting flag verification boardings of suspected Russian shadow fleet vessels, in the same way Operation IRINI does. This decision further tightens the net.'
