https://lnkd.in/dUtnVHjs) Read this excellent article on why Putin is welcome in The Netherlands. At least his old, rotten oil tankers sailing under shady flags and even more shady, UK embargoed ownership, can bunker fuel off the coast of Zeeland without any problem. A nice stop for part of Russia's 'dark fleet' on the cargo route from Primorsk (Russia) to Turkey and India and back. This dark fleet is an important reason why the oil sanctions against Russia are not working and Putin can continue to finance his infamous war against Ukraine. List of violations: circumventing EU Russian oil export embargo (https://lnkd.in/dDtvaDPK), facilitating export trade with sanctioned companies (https://lnkd.in/djpqYQFu 6570414f9462260721c56992/Notice_Russia_061223.pdf), underinsured and uninsured oil tankers, unsafe, uncontrolled oil tankers in dangerous condition, enormous potential environmental damage .... etc etc. One more issue: the site where the tankers bunker is just in front the only nuclear reactor for energy in the Netherlands. What a shameful farce. Put them on a chain asap...
