French President Emmanuel Macron:
The French Navy intercepted a new tanker under international sanctions yesterday morning, originating from Russia: the Tagor. Our determination is steadfast and unwavering.
This operation was carried out in the Atlantic, in international waters, with the support of several partners including the United Kingdom, in strict compliance with the law of the sea.
It is unacceptable for ships to circumvent international sanctions, violate the law of the sea, and fund the war that Russia has been waging against Ukraine for more than 4 years.
These vessels, which fail to adhere to the most basic rules of maritime navigation, also pose a threat to the environment and to everyone's safety.
Russian Embassy:
The captain of the Tagor tanker seized by France is a Russian.

Japanese bond and currency face collapse as concerns over Takaichi's lack of fiscal discipline mount.
Japan spent $73 billion on the forex market to defend the yen from the 160 per dollar level. The 4th intervention in as many years failed to bring lasting relief, the yen subsequently fell back to the pre-intervention level.
Japanese 30-year bond yield has been on a tear, hitting an all time high of 4% in May 2026.
Japan has a high net debt to GDP ratio of ~130%. Prime Minister Takaichi is looking to add even more debt to fund several ambitious programs: remilitarization, investment into semiconductor manufacturing, populist welfare...
Japan holds $1.24 trillion in US Treasuries, the largest foreign holding in the world. A potential crisis in Japan could trigger a selloff and bring turmoil to the US financial system.
