A: Hey there! Did you catch the news today?
B: Nah, what's up?

A: So, there's this oil tanker that got stopped by the French Navy off their coast. Turns out it's part of Russia's "shadow fleet" trying to sneak past sanctions!

B: Whoa, really? What happened to the crew?

A: Well, the captain and first mate, who are Chinese nationals, were taken into custody for not following orders from a naval commander.

B: Wow, that sounds serious. Where was this ship coming from and going to?

A: It was traveling from Russia to India with a big load of oil, but it's been changing its name quite a bit! They say it had no flag under international law.

B: That's pretty sneaky... But why is this such a big deal?

A: Well, the French President said we need to "kill the business model" to stop Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He mentioned that a big chunk of their war effort is financed through these shadow fleet ships and it's around 30-40 billion euros or so!

B: Whoa, that's some serious cash! Guess they can't afford to let those ships slip by.
