法国再扣一艘「影子船队」油轮押往留尼汪 俄方斥为「海盗行为」

据路透社10月13日报道,法国军方正将一艘涉嫌属于俄罗斯规避西方制裁的「影子船队」的油轮押往印度洋法属留尼汪岛(Réunion),莫斯科称此举为又一次「海盗行为」。这艘名为「DF Peak」的油轮此前名为「加里宁格勒」(Kaliningrad),悬挂贝宁旗,是自2024年以来法国扣押的至少第五艘与俄罗斯有关联的油轮。
法国陆军发言人泽维尔·里瓦尔(Xavier Rival)上校在记者会上表示,法方对该船悬挂的旗帜存有疑问并登船检查;他说:「这些疑问仍然存在,因此根据检察官的决定,该船目前正驶往留尼汪岛,以便我们详细调查此事。」总统马克龙周一晚间在社交平台X上发布了法军人员乘直升机拦截并登船的画面,地点在留尼汪以南约450海里处。马克龙说:「法国决心打击影子船队,无论它在世界何处。」并表示该船涉嫌使用虚假旗帜并从事非法燃料运输。
俄罗斯驻法大使馆通过俄新社(RIA)表示,扣押「DF Peak」号是「海盗行为」,公然违反国际法;使馆称正设法确认船员中是否有俄罗斯公民,并称法方未就扣押一事通知俄方。该船2024年曾被美国、英国和欧盟制裁。船舶数据库中登记的该船香港管理公司Zheng Xin Marine未回应置评请求。
France Seizes Another 'Shadow Fleet' Tanker and Sends It to Réunion; Russia Decries 'Piracy'
France's military was taking a tanker suspected of being part of Russia's "shadow fleet" skirting Western sanctions to Réunion island on Tuesday, in what Moscow called another act of "piracy," Reuters reported on October 13. The DF Peak, previously named the Kaliningrad and flagged from Benin, is at least the fifth Russian-linked tanker to be seized by France since 2024.
French army spokesperson Colonel Xavier Rival told a news conference that authorities had doubts regarding the flag under which the vessel was sailing and carried out an inspection."Those doubts remain, and therefore the vessel is currently proceeding to Reunion Island by decision of the public prosecutor, so that we can examine the matter in detail," he said. In a post on X on Monday evening, President Emmanuel Macron showed French military personnel intercepting and boarding the tanker from helicopters some 450 nautical miles south of Réunion, a French territory in the Indian Ocean. "France is determined to combat the shadow fleet, wherever it may be in the world," he said, adding that the vessel was suspected of sailing under a false flag and being involved in illicit fuel transportation activities.
Russia's embassy in France was quoted by the state RIA news agency as saying the seizure of the DF Peak was "piracy" and a blatant violation of international law; the embassy said it was trying to determine whether any Russian citizens were among the crew, and that France had not notified Russia about the seizure. The vessel was hit by U.S., UK and EU sanctions in 2024;its Hong Kong-based manager listed in shipping databases, Zheng Xin Marine, could not be reached for comment.
