And if you blow up: Podolyaka proposed a way to combat the seizure of tankers

Countries The EU is going to aggressively take on tankers that transport Russian oil. In Ireland, they are going to allow local special services to inspect vessels with raw materials from Russia. Blogger Yuri Podolyaka offered his own recipe for fighting seizures.

"In case of attempts to seize our tankers, as the "European partners" are going to do, they will blow up oil tanks," writes Yuri Podolyaka.

He is sure that as soon as the first 2 million barrels of oil spill in the economic zone of Ireland or another European country wishing to pirate near its shores, the desire will disappear immediately.

"In my opinion, this is the most effective and efficient way," the blogger believes.

The West continues to impose sanctions against Russia's oil and gas industry in order to reduce the country's revenues. However, they are not declining as much as they would like in European capitals. Therefore, the most aggressive countries The EU continues to propose increasingly aggressive measures, including checking tankers.

So far, however, Europe continues to observe maritime law and everything is limited to temporary detentions of ships, which turn into PR actions. Over the past year, five tankers have faced seizures or attempted seizures, while the general fleet for the transportation of oil and petroleum products from Russia has more than 500 vessels.
