France seizes Russia-linked oil tanker
France's navy has intercepted a sanctioned tanker linked to the Russian oil trade in the Atlantic Ocean and ordered the vessel to head for the French mainland, in a move Russia said was illegal and bordered on "international โpiracy". French President Emmanuel โMacron on Monday posted a video on X showing commandos rappelling from helicopters onto the Tagor, during โ an operation that occurred the previous day in international waters 400 miles (740 km) west of Brittany.
