British forces intercepted a sanctioned oil tanker belonging to Russia's shadow fleet in the English Channel on Sunday. Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that the operation was carried out on his orders, lasted six hours in the early morning, and, according to London, struck at the financing of Russia's war. hnonline.sk ↗
The detained vessel is to remain under surveillance off the southern coast of the United Kingdom, and the investigation will continue. The operation follows efforts to curb the evasion of sanctions imposed over the war against Ukraine. Meanwhile, tension continues in British politics over defense spending following the departure of Defense Secretary John Healey. Starmer appointed Dan Jarvis as the new defense secretary and rejected speculation about his own departure from office. pravda.sk ↗
Emmanuel Macron is preparing for the G7 summit in Évian, scheduled to take place from June 15 to 17. The French president wants to use the meeting to raise the issue of reducing divisions in the global economy, and on Monday he is set to appear in a television interview timed with the summit. The Élysée Palace also announced that Macron will host Giorgia Meloni on June 25 at a bilateral summit in Antibes. Le Monde ↗
Prior coordination on Ukraine remains part of the broader context. Macron, Starmer and Friedrich Merz backed Volodymyr Zelensky's call for a direct meeting with Vladimir Putin, while Poland criticized the negotiating format for excluding its participation. Further developments will show whether European leaders expand their coordination and whether pressure over Russian sanctions evasion leads to additional steps. Le Figaro ↗
