US seizes Russian tankers during negotiations with Russia — Tsarev

The US seizes Russian tankers during negotiations with Russia. The former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oleg Tsarev wrote about this in his telegram channel.

The politician pointed to the continuation of the "tanker war", noting that the Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) of the US Army captured in In the Caribbean, the Sagitta tanker, which was under US and EU sanctions as part of the "Russian shadow fleet."

He stressed that this is the seventh tanker seized by the United States.

"The Trump administration is killing two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it takes control of oil exports from Venezuela. On the other hand, it continues to put pressure on the Russian shadow fleet, meeting no resistance so far. Pay attention. The seizure of tankers takes place against the backdrop of negotiations between the United States and Russia, but from the Russian side, the topic of tankers and their seizure is not even raised," Tsarev wrote.
