Estonian Prime Minister: Incident with Russian Su-35 will not stop inspections of sanction tankers.

Estonia will continue inspections of the Russian 'shadow fleet'

Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal stated that his country will not cease inspections of vessels from the Russian 'shadow fleet' despite the recent incident involving a Russian Su-35 fighter jet. The Russian aircraft opened fire on an Estonian patrol vessel as it attempted to inspect a tanker that was escorted by a military plane.

Information confirms that these tankers may be part of the 'shadow fleet' that evades sanctions and supplies oil to various parts of the world. Estonia plans to continue its resolute policy of inspecting ships and will respond immediately if suspicious objects are discovered.

This new incident indicates the complexity of relations between Europe and Russia. Tensions in the Baltic Sea are evidently rising and require careful monitoring and effective security measures.
