- "What Denmark and and potentially Sweden could do is to inspect many more of them to see, are the vessels seaworthy."
Putin is increasingly reliant on Russia's ageing "shadow fleet" to fund his war in Ukraine as Baltic nations consider searches and inspections to cut the Kremlin's oil revenues, Elizabeth Braw, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, tells Frontline

Bizarre position taken by India; they continually berate the UK for the colonial past BUT now support the most colonial, murderous country on the planet, Russia and its imperialist dictator Putin, rather than support the country that is resisting imperialism. What a moral stance India HASN'T taken, they've just sold out their scruples and are paying in Rubles!
The bizarre position is taken by you! The most colonial, murderous country in the world right now is israel which is fully supported by the west! India and the rest of the world cannot stand western hypocrisy! in condemning Russia, when Nato pushed russia into invading ukraine, whilst the west backs colonial Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Modi is a sadistic crook.
I thought they only berate Britain for clean streets and women's rights, since majority of India's infrastructure is British.
Every day is a school day
India would be far, far, far ahead of China if it weren't for its basic corrupt core.
(add caste system, etc. and so on).
@@AlanTheBeast100There’s a reason that a corporation bent on near-plunder was more attractive than their many existing government(s).
Farage ignorance is baffling and dangerous
There's plenty of Russian children in London, Paris, Switzerland, Italy and other European countries. The parents are sitting in the Kremlin criticising Europe whilst sending them to British schools in Russia.
This comment needs some more work - .... sending them to British schools in Russia ???
Give them a new home in Pripyat by Chernobyl. Lots of free apartments.
I think the answer is that the plutocrats who run Russia are no strangers to hypocrisy and lies, but like other less mendacious human beings, love their families.
Tells us who Turkey really is. Would never rely on them for anything.
Decent kebabs and that’s about it
They are actually tastier than chicken though
Elizabeth is excellent!
One would imagine that the oligarchs have the upper hand at the moment. I can’t understand why they are all prepared to lose their wealth because of one man’s dream to be a Czar.
Money is the bottom line and Putin isn’t good for business.
I'm Russian woman. We need money to help our PEOPLE. We can't win the war, this much is sure. We need toilets, infrastructure
@@dpelpal You have toilets, looted from Ukraine.
Unlike America, Having the upper hand in war is the bottom line and Trump isn’t good for war. Trump would be good for Russia and Putin would be good for America 😂.
@@viperguyzno wanna be dictator is good for any country long term. Many dictators have good moments in the beginning before the power and self delusions blind them.
@@viperguyz ???
China would feel it if the West started to boycott it's products. When one buys clothes for example check where they are made.
Elisabeth Braw offers great intormation -super English.
These shadow fleets may have a right to passage but any port allowing them in with Russian oil should be secondary sanctioned. Any legit insured vessel taking on Russian oil should be sanctioned as well as their major stockholders.
🤣🤣🤣You would then be sanctioning the rest of the world, including China which supplies so many of our manufacturing products in the west!
@@dacorum8053 Good! That's the point.🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@dacorum8053"our" you will never be white. You will never be one of us.
EU, NATO needs to tell Denmark, Sweden and Norway to block the shadow fleet.
Joint coastguard operations.
Blocked in the straits they can't be unless inspected and are found to violate rules of passing through. All vessels have free passage like it was international waters, such are the internationally agreed upon rules for the straits. As for inspection: Like she said, the fleets can then do little else than stopping merchant ships to check them. A frigate can't protect ships against pirates and Houthi missiles at the Horn of Africa and at the same time inspect merchant vessels at home. Sweden has over 3,000 km coastline to guard. The Danish navy doubles as coast guard and has important military deterring work in the Baltic etc. to do. The only real solution is many more patrol vessels which are being ordered but take a long time to build. No magic can suddenly produce a lot of new patrol vessels at the glimpse of an eye.
@@larsrons7937 Yes but RuZZia should be banned from leaving RuZZia unless invited to visit by a lovely friendly decent country with better human rights than them like North Korea
@@Matt1975ism Little by little that will happen automatically. There are now so many cases of RU warcrimes commited by close to 150,000 named individuals that soon only few rushans will have many other places to go than N. Korea. "Bunker-grandpa" has ruined everything not only for his neighbour(s) but also for his won country. Somehow they still love him for it. I have given up trying to understand that.
they are NOT BREAKING ANY LAWS. Don't you get it? This woman is sulking that they exist legally. If you want to blockade russia arbitrarily you are proposing to declare war on russia. Understand the consequences of your suggestions before you make them.....or sound like a russian propagandist screaming for attacks on people you're not actually at war with.
@@larsrons7937 Yes agreed, but RuZZian logic is very strange. How can you like a bloodthirsty vampire like that who is also a wanted war criminal?
Putin to Oligarchs: "Think twice? Fly once."
Did you think of that one by yourself.
@@stu281 no - the saying came direct from Pryggo!

The World is so corrupt and rotten .
There has been corruption throughout the world, and throughout history since the beginning of civilization. The tribal days weren’t likely void of corruption either.
The most corrupt country in the world is Gulag RuZZia
The world isn't getting worse: The world is the same as it has always been. Big countries push around little countries and wars are fought because of the aspirations and egos of politicians and nations. Similarly, countries only obey the rules that suit them or will be enforced by force of arms. IT WAS ALWAYS THUS.
Where do you think that the British Empire came from? One of history's greatest forces for law, democracy and civilisation - despite its crude methodology. It came from the egos of kings / capitalists / diplomats.
Russia is
Freedom to People's Republic of Dagestan
I am a Russian woman. Live Samara. I support the people of Dagestan! I hope they have independent country!
I believe in the Freedom of the people of Texas. It should become its own country. Same with Vermont 😅
If they sail through the Baltic sea or the Bosphorus, it cant be very difficult to stop them. Therefore, the allies must want this to happen.
It's not difficult, but it's illegal. As for the Bosporus there are some limits for naval vessels, otherwise, in peacetime, all ships from any are free to pass under international maritime rules. Only if inspected, and found to be violating some rules that will remove their free passage, can they be blocked. That in turn would require a lot of new patrol vessels capable of the task, which are being ordered but will take a long time to construct.
You can demand that they are insured when they go through your waters…..
Its not the transportation of oil which is the real issue, its the Russian owned oil companies abroad, these are where the loopholes have been formed and are being exploited
@Times please stop doing the intros to your videos. A lot of us find it very annoying.
Dry your eyes Whinning. Pipeage.
And the dramatic and misleading headlines
Amen. I cant watch the channel now and I used to quite enjoy it.
Please, it's an annoying waste of time
They don't read our comments,I have been complaining for years about this
Australia recognizes tertiary qualification of Indian nationals and allows them to immigrate in spite of India not supporting sanctions against Russia. Will somebody take action against the government.
While I would be happy for the west to apply pressure on India, DO bare in mind that Modi is a complete nationalistic psychotic and India would rush to help russia if he felt that India was being threatened over his behaviour. The only one thing that India hates more than criticism is china.
Take visa , from Them all
Uhhh what a move. This Will end war soon for sure
China and India want crude oil and to refine it themselves. They don't want refined oil. Russia doesn't have storage facilities for oil .
so? What is your point?
Russia's dark shipping will be massive polluters.
They won’t be able to ship very much because of lack of insurance.
About time!
Smart woman
BRILLIANT ANALYSIS! // \\ 🇬🇧⚒️⛑️⛓️🔐🏹🚀⚔️🚒🎯🏥🏰
Buyers of these illegally transported oil should also be banned or sanctioned. These 3 countries should also suffer consequences if they continue doing business with these shadow fleet just because of cheap oil.
Oligarchs have already been thinking twice. It didn't just happen now.. He who controls the military wins In the end.
Putin is Finished ✅️ 😂😂can't come quick enough 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
She's right these sick people would think twice.
Excellent coverage of the war . Thank you.
You mean propaganda 😂
nah, just more risible copium from tHE tiMEs
You mean coverage of 'Russia's illegal war' surely 😄 It's pure propaganda. Russia's not our only enemy.
Desperate countries & cheap oil
😂
All shipping has to be insured, we have records therefore, all shipping can be seen via Satellite, moving to ports and back even if transponder is off, lets start identifying where they going an if violating the rules, which they are anyway by having transponders off, then we withdraw insurance and sanction the captain and crew.
for international shipping and having the right to sail yes, but like road vehicles police have the right to check for insurance otherwise they have the power to stop you. Have a similar law in place for vessels, if a vessel fails to provide its insurance details then they should be allowed to be boarded and stopped.
150 million Russians,can u spell and explain this strange new word. DEMOCRACY
oh dear oh dear. Don't you get it?
The russians THINK they are the only decent society in the world - they have been brought up to believe that their society is perfect and everyone hates that perfection and wants to destroy them out of jealousy. THE AMAZING IRONY is that American kids are taught exactly the same - indirectly and directly - which is why both nations have utterly inflated opinions about the worthiness of their society and desirability of living in their country. Both are wrong.
Finding Russia guilty for war crimes and destruction of Ukraine would allow seizure of vessels to be seized and cargo sold for war damages. In fact, even the vessels could be seized and sold for scrap or use.
I can’t understand why families of prominent Russians including tv presenters, politicians, senior civil servants etc. etc are not already sanctioned and expelled from countries in the west.
I thought that Western sanctions on companies refining Russian oil in India were having an effect. Can anyone answer this?
"So what might the Oligarchs do?"
How many times have we heard this same basic question addressed? At this point, these talking heads are just repeating themselves for the sake if filling airtime.
It's not as if we ever get any answers.. just more recycled content.
❤❤❤❤
Quit showing the three good minutes as click bait and then making me watch the same scene twice when I actually watch, it's cheap nonsense
That rights 😮😅😅😅
No more oligarchs in Russia Federation, in the last 20 years they moved in west...
What does it mean illegal war? All wars are illegal. Did you use the same word for iraq or afghanista? Those were legal wars? Aren't you tired of all this propaganda
Ships registered in landlocked Swaziland 😂
Today children, Vlad is going through the square window
just wait but don't hold your breath, oligarcs "thinking twice"....
What an embarrassing situation this woman has put herself in.Im in Ireland the west is going down a dangerous road.Brics is on the rise.Europe is listening to the Americans to much.

Braw in Scotland means nice ,e.g. that meal was BRAW
Russians are personally pure, simple and good people, but when it comes to the topic of nations, their national character makes them prone to dictatorship. Despite having abandoned communism, President Putin strongly dislikes NATO, which embodies freedom and democracy, probably because he believes that its progressive ideology will destroy the very foundations of Russia's unique national character and culture.
What Sanctions 🤔 ..
😂 Did you hear the veiled threat that India may have an environmental “accident “? lol, hopefully India heard that loud and clear.
From the people who brought us the nord stream pipeline environmental disaster.

Hey, slow down and pronounceate. It was almost unwatchable.
I really do not want to be a stick in the mud. But I think you mean 'pronunciate'
@latinokid33 yes, Thank you. I am a terrible speller. I will need a personal editor if I am to continue to post.
@latinokid33 And, a stick in the mud is a good thing, it marks where the mud is. Lol, old Indian trick
Putin appeasers
If youre Russian youre guilty and an accomplice of the atrocities in Ukraine
So ever Russian globally is an accomplice?
If you're American you are guilty of supporting wars which have killed millions - including this one.
No, You can not blame the people of Russia
You can blame their government
The people want to live a peaceful life with their families
Just like You
So if you're american or a lapdog like Britain you're all the same for all your disgusting invasions?
@@gojirajenkins8528 well I blame all who vote for him the last time.
This woman is the worst speaker I've seen interviewed on Times Radio. The hurried stuttering makes her difficult to listen to. Turned it off half way through.
Please stop doing intros to your videos. They're pointless and infuriating.
What's the Baltic got to do with it? The tankers go to India and the Far East via the Arctic Ocean. And they are actually mostly owned by Indians.
Uninsured ships full of oil sailing along your coast, who is going to pay for the cleanup if there is an accident?
@@buddy1155not insured by the west you mean. Good luck enforcing this little scheme.
@@buddy1155😂😂😂😂 insurance is for cleaning up 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@buddy1155 Whose coast?
@@koiguidenishikigoi4972 Yes, oil tankers are insured against environmental damage. The oil spill of Exxon Valdez was $2B.
A1 information thanks 👍
The days of the British telling india what to do are well and truly over
Wrong channel
Hindustan Times more your level
@samfox9008 why do the British not like talking about difficult subjects like British imperialism?
It’s not about British telling India what to do.
It’s about Indians not supporting a neo-colonial fascist regime like Putin’s. Don’t Indians have any sympathy for the plight of Ukraine?
@jimmyflawless if India doesn't buy Russian oil who will ? Where would the world get 10 million barrels a day to replace Russian oil if it was gone ,India is doing the west a favour by buying Russian oil cheap and keeping prices low for the rest of us , the Americans would dump ukraine if it meant prices at the pumps doubled .
i thought i could watch this but i cant. sry but the 1960's bogeyman story is just boring and out of touch.
Good evening Tintin 😊
Can’t talk well can’t lisen to it
Talking utter garbage... its the largest country on the planet there industrial complex is at full motion ...
They don't need insurance from the west they can do it on there own ...
In Russian law the Crimea and the four territories belong to them
Russian law only applies to Russia and not other sovereign territories.

Yea, and from the comments...
Western supplied cluster weapons fired from Ukraine against civilians on a Sevastopol beach ?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣continuam a engolir a propaganda dos terroristas russos ,além disso se fosse verdade ,bastava voltarem para a russia ,que deixavam de ser bombardeados.
I hope this newfound concern for civilian casualties will extend to Ukraine. (spoiler alert: it won't)
russia fire the rocket dont... they did not target the sevastopol..... ukraine does not have to resoruce to use on hitting none military target or thing that support the military ..... russia kind of hitting it self here ... anyway.. the russia people should have left anyway Go home russia
No
Like how russia kills ukraine civilians apartment complexes ect?? Try not to make hippocritical statements.
India refuses to pay in Rubles and pays for oil in Rupee which is no good to Putlar and his war. India suggests that Russia invests the money in India infrastructure
Stop saying stuff that everyone knows
