FRANCE-DENMARK-DRONES-DEFENCE-DIPLOMACY-RUSSIA

This aerial picture taken on October 1, 2025 off the coast of the western France port of Saint-Nazaire shows the tanker Boracay from Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet” suspected of being involved in drone flights over Denmark which sailed off the Danish coast between September 22 and 25, with a boat of the French Navy in the background. Named the Pushpa or Boracay, the Benin-flagged vessel, which is blacklisted by the European Union for being part of Russia’s sanction-busting “shadow fleet”, has been immobilised for several days off the French coast.
