Ukraine strikes Russian shadow fleet tanker in Mediterranean sea • FRANCE 24 English
Ukrainian drones rain down on another one of Russia’s shadow fleet tankers. It’s the first time such a strike has taken place in neutral waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Ukraine security service said it was empty at the time of the attack, but it sustained critical damage and cannot be used for its intended purpose. These vessels are used to transport sanctioned Russian oil by frequently changing flags and concealing ownership. Kev has previously targeted tankers in the Black Sea. Moscow threatened to sever Ukraine’s access to the water. At an end ofear press conference, Russia’s President Putin reiterated his threats of retaliation. [Music] This won’t achieve the expected result. It won’t disrupt any supplies and will only create additional threats. We will certainly respond. These latest strikes came amid fresh attempts to bring the nearly four-year war to an end. Ukrainian negotiators along with European top officials will meet with US President Trump’s global envoy Steve Witoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner in Miami and Saturday. Washington’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Ukraine would not be forced to accept a deal, but it’s not an easy process. going to be very there is no peace deal unless Ukraine agrees to it but there’s also no peace deal unless Russia agrees to it. We are just trying to find whether there’s whether there’s you know common ground that we can make happen and maybe that’s not possible. Maybe it is. Maybe that’s not possible right now. >> Putin’s special envoy Kiriel Ditrev will also be meeting separately with Witoff and Kushner in Florida this weekend. A meeting between Dmitri and the Ukrainian delegation has been ruled out.
Ukraine on Friday said its drones had hit a vessel from Russia’s shadow fleet – the first such strike in the neutral waters of the Mediterranean sea. Russia’s shadow fleet transports sanctioned Russia oil by frequently changing flags and concealing ownership.

Awesome 🇺🇦💪
The aggressor cannot retaliate by definition.
We'll cheer and wave flags, but will you die for a corrupt country?
As appraised by the OECD not my view.
You mean NATO back up attack on ship ???
Keep it up, Ukraine. The world is with you.
Slava Ukraini.
Technically it's an attack on a civilian vessel of a country that is not party to the war.
Russia is winning, but they are also crafting and inescapable demise.
Kinetic sanctions by Ukraine, work extremely well. Slava Ukraini!
Big loss for Russia ,lets not beg for ceasefire
Well done Ukraine 👍
UK strikes civilian vessel in international waters.
You mean hit by NATO missile. It is almost impossible to hit from Ukraine land to mediterranean without intercontinental ballistic missiles
Terrorism is never the answer. Only cowards cause environmental catastrophes.
Glad we're all okay with this. Hitting ships in international waters. What people fail to understand is what Ukraine can do, Russia can do 10x more. So when Russia starts, hopefully we all will be cool with that too.
Good news 🎉
Eco terrorism doesn't win wars, it's an act of absolute desperation destroying fragile eco systems the world relies on.
The recent attacks on Russian shadow fleet tankers show that V.Putin is not as invincible as he was thought to be. Even though bringing him down to his knees remains a hard task particularly for Europeans.🫤
What else he will do nobody knows
And the light clock work Russia responds the massive drone attack. S aren't so bright they they make one successful attack and then Russia responds with 100 times as much🙄🙄
The USA can give $20 Billion to Argentina and spend $70 Billion attacking Venezuela….. But they give ZERO to Ukraine,
Yay! More.
Sinking these ships does more in practical terms than all the talking in the world. It shows the world how Russia, the gas station to Chuna and India, is able to continue fighting despite all the blah blah blah about sanctions and loans.
EVEN 5 YEARS OLD KIDS CAN SEE IS IA FAKE
Damn nice boat. Be a shame if someone blew it up ….. Okay let's do more now. Let's bankrupt Russia again. Seriously this time either make it have a real president or get a Royal family back. The worse thing Russia did was get rid of the tars.
