    Not only that, but apparently the head of the Russian military intelligence, General Andrei Averyanov, was on board and was killed by the strike.

    This should really highlight the shenanigans that these “shadow fleet” ships have been getting up to beyond simply transporting sanctioned oil.

    They just let Russia do whatever they want anywhere they want?

      Tradition is you don’t attack anyone at sea unless you are at war. Europe isn’t officially at war so they are ignoring everything. They have plenty of Navy power, but on balance I call it better that they are not using it.
