France seizes Russia-linked oil tanker • FRANCE 24 English

France's navy has intercepted a sanctioned tanker linked to the Russian oil trade in the Atlantic Ocean and ordered the vessel to head for the French mainland, in a move Russia said was illegal and bordered on "international ​piracy". French President Emmanuel ‌Macron on Monday posted a video on X showing commandos rappelling from helicopters onto the Tagor, during ⁠an operation that occurred the previous day in international waters 400 miles (740 km) west of Brittany.
