Europe targets Russia’s “shadow fleet” as German airspace violated by overnight drones

From Global News.

Drones penetrated German airspace overnight Thursday. Many European leaders suspect Russia is responsible, though the Kremlin denies it.

The vessels belong to Russia’s fleet of ageing tankers that sail under the flag of another country in order to avoid sanctions on exports of crude oil.

Europe is also looking at a way to limit Russia’s ability to evade sanctions.
