The US European Command has announced that it has seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker. ⁣

It follows a more than two-week-long pursuit across the Atlantic as part of a U.S. ‘blockade’ of Venezuelan oil exports. ⁣
⁣
The US European Command, which announced on X that ‘the seizure of the M/V Bella 1 for violations of U.S. sanctions’, is one of the 11 unified combatant commands of the United States military. ⁣
⁣
There has been no official response from Russia. ⁣
