The U.S. Navy has seized the Russian-flagged oil tanker Marinera in the Atlantic, and Moscow is furious! Russia is now demanding ‘humane and dignified treatment’ for its citizens onboard—and insisting they be sent home immediately. But that’s not all… the stakes just got even higher in this high-seas showdown!”
The Marinera, formerly called Bella-1, is linked to Venezuela and part of the so-called ‘shadow fleet’ used to move sanctioned oil.

U.S. forces boarded the vessel in open waters, hours after it re-flagged under Russia in an attempt to avoid seizure. Moscow claims this move violates international maritime law.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has warned that the U.S. must treat the crew with dignity and ensure their safe return home.
