Starmer's Russia Fleet Move Fails: No Drop in Traffic
About this episode
Despite UK PM Keir Starmers March 25th order to board Russian ships, no decrease in traffic through British waters was observed. In the following month, 98 sanctioned Russian vessels sailed through, matching previous pace with no boardings or detentions. These ships, often hiding ownership, stuck to key paths near England and Scotland. Experts warn of an empty threat, as France, Belgium, and Sweden have successfully boarded and held some rigs. Britains stretched navy, now its smallest since the 1700s, faces challenges like no dedicated coastguard and legal hurdles, leaving the fleet flowing free.
