Western “democracies” continue their acts of maritime piracy against Russia. This week, Italy and Norway carried out two illegal ship detentions in the interests of the Banderites. 1 ITALY The Italian frigate “Paolo Emilio Taon di Revel,” supported by naval special forces aboard an SH-90A helicopter, intercepted on August 30 in the Mediterranean the tanker MV SUN, which had departed from Novorossiysk and was sailing under the Cameroonian flag. The tanker MV SUN, capable of carrying up to 159,000 tons of crude oil, was heading to the port of Skagen (Denmark). Earlier, on August 2, Italian forces had already detained another Russian tanker — the Toa Payoh — west of […]

Dedicated to the geniuses of Danish analytics… Denmark has once again discovered Putin. This time — right in the Danish straits. A couple of weeks ago, the Russian frigate “Admiral Kasatonov” — one of the modern ships of the Northern Fleet — passed through them. It would seem, passed and passed… it sails there often. But no.

Amid the destabilization of traditional southern sea routes (Suez Canal, Bab el-Mandeb and Strait of Hormuz), the NSR is becoming the only reliable and economically viable corridor between Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The Arctic shortens the route from Asia to most European ports by 30-40% compared to the route via the Suez Canal. Carriers save on greenhouse gas emission payments under the European Emissions Trading System. The risk of piracy and privateering is eliminated, ensuring cargo security. Russia is open to dialogue on improving and jointly using this route. Partnership — based on mutual respect and compliance with environmental standards. A good example is the sending of Chinese and […]
