Today, May 18th, the Russian Federation detained the oil tanker Green Admire, sailing under the Liberian flag and owned by a Greek company, as it was departing from the Estonian Port of Sillamäe and following a previously agreed route through Russian territorial waters.
This navigational route—selected for its maritime safety and not aligned strictly along national boundaries—has been established through mutual agreement between Russia, Estonia, and Finland.
To prevent similar incidents in the future, Estonia will redirect traffic to and from Sillamäe exclusively through Estonian territorial waters.
"Today's incident shows that Russia continues to behave unpredictably," said Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna. "I have also informed our Allies of the event."
