Quotes

The Nordic Baltic 8 countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland) as well as the Netherlands, Germany, Poland and the UK said they would take 'coordinated steps to disrupt and deter Russia’s shadow fleet.'

"Suspected dark fleet vessels will be asked to provide proof of insurance if they pass through their waters, which include some crucial shipping lanes."
