Sabotage Fear – New collision with the Russian “Shadow Fleet”

Date:

In the Baltic Sea there was a collision between a ship of the Russian “shadow fleet” and the army of Poland. NATO -State would have been taken out of the air.

“A Russian ship of the ‘Shadow Fleet’, which has been documented with sanctions, has performed the suspect maneuvers near the power cable between Poland and Sweden,” wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Wednesday “After the effective intervention of our army, the ship drove to one of the Russian ports.”

Poland Minister of Defense Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz explained to journalists that a patrol flight was driving the ship and that a navy ship was moving. “This shows how dangerous times are when we live how serious the situation in the Baltic Sea is,” said Kosiniak-Kamysz.

“Since Sweden and Finland have joined the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO), the Baltic Sea has become an important area where most incidents occur, especially those in connection with cable breaks and sabotage.” On the other hand, Poland and NATO would continue.

No damage
A spokesperson for the Polish network operator PSE announced that no damage to submarine cables was found. PSE data showed that at 1 p.m. CEST More than 600 Megawatt electricity flowed to Sweden. The cable of 600 megawatts lower seas connects the Swedish coast near Karlshamn with Ustka in North Poland and allows both networks to use any cross-border deliveries.

NATO has strengthened safety in the Baltic Sea after a series of incidents have occurred since the Russian full invasion in Ukraine in February 2022, in which power cables, telecommunication connections and gas pipelines are damaged.

The term “shadow fleet” refers to ships used by Russia to transport oil, weapons and grain by bypassing international sanctions. The Russian embassy in Warsaw initially did not respond to a request for comments that was made per e -mail.

In the past, the Government in Moscow has disputed every participation in underwater’s abotage in the Baltic Sea and stated that the West uses such accusations to limit the oil export on the Zeroute.
