Ik ben benieuwd hoe zij dit gaan doen. Technisch gezien zouden zij een blokkade op kunnen werpen in de Oost zee bijvoorbeeld, om Rusland de toegang te ontzeggen. Of in elk geval Russische olietankers tegen te houden.quote:Denmark developing measures to curb oil transport by Russia's shadow fleet
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen has announced that Denmark has started negotiations on putting an end to the transportation of Russian oil by its shadow fleet of tankers across the Baltic Sea.
Source: European Pravda, citing the minister's interview with Danish news outlet Information and Danwatch
Quote: "Denmark has gathered a group of countries to consider further measures against the shadow fleet. It is important that all new measures can be implemented in practice and are legally sustainable."
Details: Rasmussen did not elaborate on what the new measures would entail but added that he "takes the problem of the shadow fleet very seriously".
Outdated oil tankers make up Russia's so-called shadow fleet, which it uses to circumvent sanctions on oil exports.
The foreign minister noted that Denmark is engaged in a "confidential dialogue" with other Baltic Sea nations and the EU. Rasmussen did not disclose what countries would try to curb the shadow fleet.
Background:
• Earlier, the Group of Seven (G7) countries promised further restrictions to combat Russia's use of shadow fleets to circumvent their sanctions.
• Last week, the United Kingdom announced new sanctions against Russia, seeking to hamper its ability to wage war against Ukraine.
• Prior to that, media reports indicated that there were still disagreements among EU countries over measures targeting Russia's so-called "shadow fleet", which consists of semi-legal oil tankers.
Militair gezien misschien niet. Maar het is wel een prestige kindje van Putin natuurlijk. En het zou een vernedering zijn als hij vernietigd wordt.quote:Destruction of Kerch Bridge won't be as effective anymore, military says
Destroying the Kerch Bridge in occupied Crimea now would not have the same effect now because Russia barely uses it for military purposes anymore, Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk said in an interview with RBC-Ukraine published on June 17.
The bridge connects the Russian mainland with the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula and has long been a crucial supply route for the Russian military in Ukraine.
Construction on the 19-kilometer-long bridge began after the illegal 2014 annexation of Crimea and was completed in 2018.
It was heavily damaged in Ukrainian strikes in October 2022 and July 2023.
The bridge accounts for less than a quarter of the total transiting cargo, and for the rest, Russia uses a ferry crossing in Kerch, which the Ukrainian military struck in late May, Pletenchuk said.
"Therefore, this bridge is no longer of such tactical and strategic importance after the damage it sustained as a result of a joint operation by the SBU (Ukraine's Security Service) and the Navy with a drone attack," the spokesperson said.
The Ukrainian military has repeatedly said that the Kerch Bridge is a legitimate target and that Ukraine aims to destroy it.
An analysis of satellite imagery by investigative group Molfar, shared with The Independent in May, showed that over a three-month period this year, only one military freight train carrying around 55 fuel cars crossed the bridge.
Ukraine's military reported on a number of attacks against the peninsula in recent days, allegedly scoring successful hits against Russian S-300 and S-400 air defense systems.

Future Ukrainian F-16 pilots are taking an intensified training course in France on Alphajet jet trainers.
Details of the training of Ukrainian pilots were published in the report of the French edition of Le Monde.
Journalists of the publication became the first to be admitted to an unnamed air base located in southwestern France. It is there that a group of young Ukrainian pilots trains.
The French Air Force pledged to train 26 Ukrainian pilots in two years. However, according to the publication, there are currently only ten of them. Some of them have never flown, others have experience in piloting L-39 Albatros training aircraft.
After several months of preparation in the UK, in particular for learning English, in March this year a group of pilots arrived in France, where they began theoretical and practical training. Immediately upon arrival, they “were placed under the cap,” as the French officer put it. Even while reporting, they were barred from speaking to the press. Only their age was reported: from 21 to 23 years.
“Recruits are busy. Some, in the middle of the maps, are preparing to fly in a simulator, while a second group elsewhere, in the middle of the airfield, is preparing to take off on a two-seat plane with an instructor,” says a reporter at Le Monde.

quote:Ukraine hits 15 Russian air defense systems in occupied Crimea over past 2 months, military says
Ukrainian forces struck around 15 air defense systems in Russian-occupied Crimea over the past two months, Ukraine's Center for Strategic Communications (Stratcom) reported on June 17.
The Ukrainian military recently hit several S-300, S-350, and S-400 air defense systems, according to the statement. Ukraine also struck more than 15 radar stations and over 10 control centers stationed in Russian-occupied peninsula.
The military sites were located in Crimean settlements – Chornomorske, Tarkhankut, Yevpatoria, Saky, Donske, Belbek, Sevastopol, Alushta, Dzankoi, Mysove, and near Ai-Petri peak, according to the map published by Ukraine's Center for Strategic Communications.
Ukraine has carried out several successful attacks against Russian targets in occupied Crimea and its vicinity, heavily degrading the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Air defense losses apparently made Moscow nervous enough to move the latest S-500 systems to the peninsula, Ukraine's Military Intelligence Chief Kyrylo Budanov said.
Russian officials have not commented on the claim.

The Drone Coalition raised ¤549 million for unmanned aerial vehicles in Ukraine.
Latvian Defense Minister Andris Sprūds said that 14 countries were officially included in the unmanned coalition.
“Latvia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark, Estonia, Italy, France, Canada, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany and Sweden, and the Czech Republic are in the process of joining,” said Andris Sprūds.
At the same time, other countries can join the drone coalition. So far, members of the unmanned coalition have raised ¤549 million to transfer drones to Ukraine.
“This is more than 500 million, more precisely, ¤549 million, already promised by member states, partners within the framework of the drone coalition,” the minister said.

quote:Romania upgrades strategic air base for Ukrainian F-16 deployment
On June 11, Romanian Defence Minister Angel Tîlvăr announced extensive plans to expand and modernise the Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base near the Ukrainian border. As noted by the news outlet Army Recognition, the official reason cited for this development is the perceived threat from the east. However, in the context of the situation in Ukraine, it may involve the deployment of F-16 fighters .
Positioned less than 200 kilometres from the Ukrainian border, the airbase has long been utilised for the stationing of U.S. forces and assets. Its strategic significance has grown since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. However, Romania began enhancing its capabilities even earlier, notably in response to the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008 and the annexation of Crimea in 2014.
Colonel Nicolae Crețu, the base commander with the Romanian Air Force, stated that the project includes constructing a new runway, a watchtower, and additional hangars to protect both current and upcoming military assets. The total budget for the modernisation is set at ¤2.5 billion.

quote:All the Locations in Occupied Crimea Where Ukraine Has Successfully Destroyed Russian Air Defense Systems
It’s been reported throughout last few months that Ukraine is making efforts to weaken Russian air defense. But why?
Earlier this month, several outlets stated that Ukrainians are now able to strike targets on any location within Russian occupied Crimea with astonishing effect.
The total number of individually struck air defense systems is approximately 15. Specifically, divisions of air defense systems in the modifications of S-300, S-350, and S-400 have been affected; dozens of launcher units of these systems have been destroyed, along with over 15 radar stations and more than 10 command posts.
Here are all the locations within Russian-occupied Crimea where Ukrainian forces have successfully destroyed air defense systems from May to June 2024:
• Belbek
• Sevastopol
• Chornomorske
• Yevpatoriia
• Dzhankoi
• Tarkhankut
• Saky
• Donske
• Mysove
• Alushta
• mount Ai Petri
Analysts say the Ukrainian military is preparing to increase its reliance on air support for ground operations once enough Western fighter jets, including F-16s and Mirages, and therefore is targeting Russian air defense in order to secure the airspace.
