France has seized an oil tanker named the Grinch in the Mediterranean, suspected of being part of Russia's shadow fleet that evades sanctions. French President Macron stated the tanker was under international sanctions and flying a false flag. The French navy, aided by allies, confirmed the vessel's irregular flag. The Grinch was traveling from Murmansk, Russia, and was intercepted while carrying oil. Ukrainian President Zelensky praised the action, emphasizing the need to stop Russian oil financing the war.
