EU forces boarded a suspected Russian shadow fleet tanker in the Mediterranean, the Kyiv Independent reported, citing EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas. Ukrainska Pravda identified the vessel as MV Midag, which Operation Irini personnel boarded on 13 November under UN maritime law, and Kallas confirmed it was sailing under a false flag. Kallas said the EU will keep disrupting Russia's shadow fleet at sea and through diplomatic means, and that foreign ministers are expected to approve new sanctions listings on Monday targeting banks, oil buyers and companies. The reports gave no details on the tanker's cargo.
