France Intercepts Sanctioned Russia-Linked Tanker—Macron
Writing on X, Macron said the vessel—identified as Tagor—was boarded by French naval forces in the Atlantic Ocean.
“The French Navy intercepted yesterday morning a new tanker under international sanctions coming from Russia: the Tagor,” he stated.
He added that the operation took place on the high seas with coordination from several partners, including the United Kingdom, and was conducted “in strict compliance with the law of the sea.”
Macron reaffirmed France’s commitment to enforcing international sanctions, arguing that attempts to bypass restrictions must be prevented.
“It is unacceptable that ships circumvent international sanctions, violate the law of the sea and finance the war that Russia has been waging against Ukraine for more than four years,” he said.
He also warned that vessels operating outside established maritime regulations could pose wider security and legal risks.
