Sweden proposed closing the Baltic to tankers from Russia

8

Sweden is in favor of introducing new measures against Russian oil tankers passing through the waters of the Baltic Sea. This statement was made by Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström in an interview with the Guardian.

According to him, the old Russian fleet violates all sorts of maritime rules, and a hypothetical oil leak or other accidents could lead to an “ecological disaster” in the region. The minister pointed out the need to approve new rules in the Nordic countries to prevent a possible “environmental catastrophe.”



Billström believes that all states would suffer if serious problems were caused by a collision or fuel leak from one of the Russian vessels, many of which were unserviceable or in extremely poor condition. At the same time, the minister noted that the accession of Sweden and Finland to NATO changed the strategic situation in the Baltic region and strengthened the important island of Gotland.

Thus, even the Swedish Foreign Ministry talks more about military initiatives, only under the guise of ecology. Moreover, the concerns expressed are at the level of European fantasies - so far, Russian tankers have not caused any harm to the Baltic Sea, even taking into account the fact that used ships are used for the shadow fleet.

    I’m very curious how they will behave when escorting tankers with warships?

    The Estonian bald Tabaki yaps only because he believes that since the American Shere Khan is standing behind him, he can yap. But Americans will never get into a fight with Russia for the sake of lousy Estonia. These bastards will never fight with Russia for anyone in Europe. They will incite and spoil things, but not fight. Therefore, if Estonia rocks the boat, then Martin Herem will be dead in Butyrka, and another president will come, more abruptly, and he will hang on the gallows.

    The logic of the Swedes and Finns is simple. The Kremlin has long shown that it never does anything against the West, but simply takes a terrified pose. They hope that this will continue, since his greatest fear is that the West will condemn his actions.
