Baltic Leader, which sails under the flag of Russia, is believed to belong to a company that was sanctioned by the EU earlier this week.
A Russia-bound cargo ship was seized in the English Channel on Saturday over the recent sanctions announced by the European Union as Putin’s troop continues their offensive against Ukraine on the streets of Kyiv. The 416-ft commercial boat named the ‘Baltic Leader’ is believed to belong to a company that was sanctioned earlier this week by the EU. There’s the possibility that the ship could belong to a Russian company, said French officials, underlining that the company was hit by sanctions that were related to Russia’s Ukraine invasion.
