Finland seizes ship from Russia • FRANCE 24 English

Finnish police have detained a cargo ship named the Fitburg on suspicion of sabotaging an undersea telecommunications cable linking Helsinki and the Estonian capital, with authorities saying the vessel had been traveling from Russia’s port of St. Petersburg to Israel, in a region already on high alert after repeated incidents, as the eight NATO countries bordering the Baltic Sea respond to a series of disruptions involving seabed power cables and gas pipelines. Charlotte Hughes has the details.

  1. With its embarrassed military in Ukraine, Russia trying to get any cheap win they can at this point and still failing at that lol 🤣🤣🤣

  2. Ever since Finland became a NATO member it's become aggressive, embolden and unfriendly to Russia. Before they joined the alliance, they had very good relations with the Russian Federation, it's obvious that Brussels is pulling the strings in that country now.

  3. Does it matter if these charges are completely accurate? I feel like ships like these are probably just Venezuelan Fentanyl Smugglers, anyways, so simply seizing them is legal, now? I'm not sure which world I'm in, currently…

  4. NATO is now pushing Finland to creat Problems with the good neighbour"Russia". Finland PLS Don't wake the sleeping Lion.

  5. Finland will suffer for this. They should have stayed out of this one. History will show Russia on the right side of History. NATO has broken every agreement it has ever made with Russia.

  6. I guess it’s time to seize Finland. 😂 and before some captain cope mentions the Russo-Finish war I suggest you review your homework underlining the concessions made by Finland. 😅

  7. As a Brit, I do actually speak Finnish – but I don't think we ever praise other countries enough for being able to speak English and inform us correctly. English speakers just do not realise this – I just can't praise them enough – also the Finns are masters of keeping their cool.

  8. "Moskow rejects the aligations" 😂😂😂. That's like asking a kid if it took a cookie while it has cookie crumbs sticking to his mouth and chooclat fingers, ofcourse it never ate any cookies 😂
