Cargo ship 'belonging to Russian bank that is pivotal' to country's defence sector and among those targeted by UK government sanctions against Moscow is SEIZED in the English Channel
The 416ft commercial boat, understood to belong to one of the 100 Russian companies which were hit with crippling EU sanctions this week, was seized in the English Channel early on Saturday morning. French authorities said the ship could belong to a Russian company suspected of violating trade sanctions linked to the war in Ukraine. The vessel, which was intercepted by customs officials, was transporting vehicles from Rouen, in France's Normandy region.
