UK stands firm on shadow fleet tanker seizure despite Putin's warning

The UK government has defended its decision to seize a shadow fleet tanker, stating the action was carried out in full compliance with the law. The move is part of a broader British effort to disrupt and deter vessels linked to the shadow fleet, which is used to circumvent Western sanctions. Russian President Vladimir Putin responded with a threat following the seizure. The UK authorities maintained that their enforcement actions are legally grounded and will continue as part of ongoing sanctions enforcement efforts.
