#Trump Admin & #Russia delegations begin 3rd round of direct talks

Meeting in Russian Consulate in Istanbul expected to last several hours

US State Dept: Talks focused "solely" on embassy operations, "not on normalizing a bilateral relationship overall" or on halting Russia's invasion of #Ukraine

At least 10% or 76 tankers of the Russian shadow fleet that regularly sails Baltic waters are insured via companies that do not exist.

Along a further 179 ships with the same fake 'insurance'.

If one of these decrepit ships damages anything or lets a shipload of oil into the sea, there is no coverage. Russian ships running around faux insured.

IMOs take action now! The basis for investigation and impounding. Is the lack of insurance justifying actions only at port ops or also during sailing?

There are a large number of grounds that could be argued in favor of inspections and detentions, and this is likely one of the stronger ones. You cannot play by the rules if the other side keeps breaking them without implications. Stop the russian terror ships ffs. original post from Auonsson ‪@auonsson.bsky.social‬

Norwegian fake insurance company working for Russian shadow fleet gets blacklisted after investigation by Danwatch.dk

UPDATE on the Russian fraud factory in #Norway. After our investigation, flag states across the globe are banning Ro Marine from their countries. Meanwhile the company keeps updating their database with new vessels seemingly carrying the fake and illegal insurance.

#Europe can no longer afford such security lapses. The economic criminality of Autocracy Inc. needs to become the focus of law enforcement.
