Russia: Shipping
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 3 June 2026 to Question 759 on Russia: Shipping, if he will provide an exact number.
- Answer
-
Since Question 759 was tabled, the UK has successfully interdicted the sanctioned oil tanker SMYRTOS. The UK has also supported multiple allied interdictions of sanctioned vessels in recent months.
We will not provide a running commentary or get into details of our decision-making process as this could compromise our ability to successfully take action against sanctioned ships, only benefitting our adversaries.
