France seizes Russian shadow fleet tanker & Ukrainian drones dominate skies over occupied cities

France seizes Russian shadow fleet tanker & Ukrainian drones dominate skies over occupied cities

Day 1,557.

Today, after a weekend that saw Russian ships hit by drones, hit by drones and hit by drones again, it ended with another Russian ship being seized by abseiling Frenchmen. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s “logistics lockdown” continued, leading to fuel rationing in Crimea and more Russian oil refineries self-sanctioning in very dramatic ways; no wonder Putin’s Finance Minister has said Russia’s spending on the war has gone two trillion rubles over budget.
