CryptoWorld News reported that on the 1st, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov said the French military’s seizure of a Russian oil tanker is illegal—an act that “is close to international piracy.” At a press conference, Peskov said the French side claims the operation strictly complies with international laws related to the maritime domain, which Russia “by no means agrees with.” Russia is taking multiple measures to ensure the safety of the cargo.



French President Macron posted on social media on the 1st that on May 31, the French Navy intercepted an oil tanker in the Atlantic Ocean that was departing from Russia. He said the operation took place in international waters, with cooperation from multiple partner countries including the UK, and that it strictly complied with international laws related to the maritime domain.

Russian news agency TASS, citing a report from the Russian Embassy in France, said that before France carried out the ship-seizure operation, it did not notify Russia.

Russia will never agree; will the next step be diplomatic protests or countermeasures?

The play performed over the Atlantic Ocean, and the UK also got involved.

This move by France, it’s really unfair not to even give a notice.

Not notifying before seizing the ship—what about procedural justice?

Taking multiple measures to ensure cargo safety, this sounds like it’s about revenge.

Macron takes the initiative on social media first, and is very skilled at information warfare.
