Has Russia’s Shadow Fleet, Built to Evade Sanctions, Added Sabotage to Its List? Western officials have long been concerned about Moscow’s so-called shadow fleet, an assemblage of aged tankers created to covertly carry Russian crude oil around the world. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the worry primarily concerned the use of such off-the-books ships to circumvent Western sanctions and generate revenue to fuel the Kremlin’s war machine. But Russia’s shadow fleet may now present a more pressing danger to the West. This week, Finnish commandos boarded an oil tanker that officials suspect had cut through vital underwater cables in the Baltic Sea, including one that carries electricity between Finland and Estonia. The ship, the Eagle S, bears all the hallmarks of vessels belonging to Russia’s shadow fleet, officials said, and had embarked from a Russian port shortly before the cables were cut.

“We know about Russia’s shadow fleet operating in our area, and we know Russia is systematically conducting hybrid warfare against its neighboring NATO/EU countries,” Lauri Läänemets, Estonia’s interior minister, said in an email to The New York Times. “It’s time to drop the illusions and face it.”

As well as possible sabotage these old tankers, “maintained” with shoddy ruzzian “workmanship” and corruption are breaking up. Three broke up in the Sea of Azov this week and only a token effort was made  to clean the beaches where the oil washed up, only for that effort to stop once the cameras left.

Nothing good comes out of ruzzia and ruzzia is conducting hybrid warfare against Europe. So much for the crap that ruzzia is not interested in invading the Baltics, Scandinavia, Finland, Poland, Roumania and Bulgaria etc.

Time for western troops to enter Ukraine.

Seems Putler is desperate and might try another 300,000 conscription. This will need to involve Moscow and St Petersburg and cause a civil war:

Bullshit stories being told about the civilian jet shot down by ruzzia.

It would be great if NATO could sink those vessels, because they aren't legally Russian ships. The only downside would be the environmental impact.
