Currently, the Russian "shadow fleet" poses the main threat to the environment and security in Europe.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said that sanctions should be imposed on the Russian “shadow fleet” because it can carry out sabotage in the Baltic Sea.
WAZ reports this.
“Currently, ships are damaging important underwater cables in the Baltic Sea almost every month. It is more than difficult to believe in coincidences. This is an urgent alarm signal for all of us. Underwater cables are the communication arteries that hold our world together,” she said. Baerbock.
She noted that a Russian vessel belonging to the so-called “shadow fleet” of the Russian Federation, which poses the main threat to the environment and security of Europe, was detained in Finland, so the EU should impose sanctions against it.
The ministry emphasized the need to strengthen the security of critical infrastructure and invest more in national defense. In addition, she called on the European Union to more actively develop cooperation with NATO.
“While we are discussing with our NATO partners how we can better protect the Baltic Sea from hybrid threats,” Baerbock noted.
Recall that it was previously reported that NATO will strengthen its military presence in the Baltic Sea.
