UK Seizes Russian Oil Tanker, Turns Cargo into Cash for Ukraine

British Royal Marines boarded a shadow-fleet tanker in the English Channel and seized its crude oil cargo. The UK now plans to sell that oil and use the money to support Ukrainian troops. A shadow-fleet tanker is a vessel that operates outside standard insurance and safety rules, often to evade sanctions. The operation marks a direct move to turn captured Russian assets into military aid for Ukraine.
