On 13 November, European Union security forces inspected the tanker MV MIDAG in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The primary suspicion regarding this vessel is its possible involvement in the structure of the Russian "shadow fleet". During the inspection, it was established that the tanker was using a forged flag.
Information about this incident was published by Kaja Kallas, head of the EU's foreign policy body, in her account on the social network X.
The vessel inspection was carried out by representatives of the European mission EUNAVFOR MED IRINI. The actions were based on Article 110 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, which grants the right to inspect foreign vessels on the high seas. This mission was established by the EU in 2020 to combat illegal trade, in particular oil smuggling.
Kaja Kallas emphasised that the European Union intends to continue actively countering the Russian "shadow fleet", using both maritime and diplomatic tools.
She also stated that on 16 November, the foreign ministers of EU member states are to approve updated sanctions lists against Russia. Restrictive measures, in particular, are being prepared to include banking institutions, buyers, and companies that ensure the operation of the Russian "shadow fleet".
