French President Emmanuel Macron says the French navy boards a sanctioned Russian tanker in international waters with support from Britain. Macron states the operation involves the tanker Tagor, which is covered by sanctions, and that the boarding takes place in waters beyond any single country’s territorial jurisdiction. According to the reports, the Tagor is boarded by French forces on Sunday, and Macron credits assistance from Britain in the action. The coverage is limited to Macron’s account of the operation, with no additional detail provided in the excerpts on the specific nature of the British support, the evidence underpinning the tanker’s designation, or any subsequent legal or commercial steps after the boarding. Both outlets describe the incident in the same terms: a French navy boarding of a sanctioned Russian tanker in international waters and Macron’s claim that Britain played a role in helping carry out the seizure. The reports do not mention any response from Russian authorities or the ship’s operator in the provided text.
