The French Navy has intercepted the oil tanker *Deliver* in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Sicily. The vessel is suspected of being part of Russia’s “shadow fleet” used to circumvent international sanctions. This marks at least the second instance of France detaining a Russian-linked tanker in recent months. The *Deliver* is subject to sanctions, though the specific sanctioning body wasn’t detailed. Video footage released by the French military confirms the interception. Authorities are currently investigating the tanker and its cargo. This action highlights increased scrutiny of vessels potentially aiding Russia in evading economic penalties related to the war in Ukraine.
