Russian Response, Maritime Tensions in the North Atlantic
Russia's Ministry of Transportation demanded the return of citizens from seized oil tankers, warning that U.S. actions could lead to a critical crisis in international relations. Former Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Fedorov stated that an attack on a Russian-flagged vessel would be considered an attack on Russia itself. The U.S. Coast Guard currently holds the vessels, which are reportedly being moved toward British waters.
