@itvnews: The British armed forces intercepted a Russian shadow fleet vessel in the Channel in the early hours of Sunday June 14th, the government has said. The Ministry of Defence said Royal Marine commandos and specially trained law enforcement officers from the National Crime Agency boarded a sanctioned oil tanker during a six-hour operation – the first UK-led operation of its kind. In a post on X, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: "Despite Putin’s best efforts to evade sanctions, we will not let him get away with it." #military #army #Russia #Ukraine #royalmarine
