French Navy Diverts Russian Oil Tanker by RaySimran(op): 3:24pm On Jan 23
Emmanuel Macron

@Emmanuel Macron



We will not tolerate any violation.

This morning, the French Navy boarded an oil tanker coming from Russia, subject to international sanctions and suspected of flying a false flag.

The operation was conducted on the high seas in the Mediterranean, with the support of several of our allies. It was carried out in strict compliance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

A judicial investigation has been opened.

The vessel has been diverted.

We are determined to uphold international law and to ensure the effective enforcement of sanctions.

The activities of the "shadow fleet" contribute to financing the war of aggression against Ukraine.

My brother, pls let's pray for Peace on Earth. World War is not what anybody should wish for right now, it would only increase suffering Worldwide, everybody would feel it. USA, Iran, France, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Nigeria, China, etc. Humanity has so much advance that our Planes now fly in the Air like Birds, our Submarines now moves in Water like Fish, etc.
We should all mature to live together Worldwide as genuine Brothers.
Like if you agree, Share if not.

He will still outlast both macron and Trump. He outsmarted and outlasted their several predecessors. He will win over them too.

“We are determined to uphold international law and to ensure the effective enforcement of sanctions.”

International law my foot! That’s the international law you upheld when you invaded Libya , turning the nation to a hotbed of terrorism.

You're in support of a man that invaded ukraine without provocation? Just because he is believes they are weak?

Do you wish those stronger than you to treat you the way russia treats ukraine?

It is okay if you feel same for US invading Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Dropping Bomb in Nigeria and kidnapping Venezuelan President.
Otherwise, you are an Hypocrite.
