However, a recent incident in the Red Sea highlights some of the risks faced by dark fleet ships, which typically have opaque ownership and frequently change their vessel names and flag registrations. The vessel was carrying Russian oil loaded at the port of Ust-Luga. "This was the second tanker mistakenly targeted by the Houthis whilst carrying Russian oil," Ambrey added. The Houthis have been attacking commercial ships in the Red Sea since November in retaliation for Israel's bombings in Gaza. AdvertisementThe Houthi's attacks in the Red Sea are upending global shipping with major shipping lines, including Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, changing up their shipping routes to avoid risk.

☆ Russia's plan to get 400,000 more volunteer fighters won't work, so they will have to coerce people, UK intel says
  + stars: | 2023-03-30 | by ( Sinéad Baker | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
The UK MOD said Russia wants it to appear like people volunteered, to minimize domestic anger. But it will likely struggle to get enough people, and authorities may have to coerce them, it said. But the UK MOD said it is very unlikely that many Russians will choose to sign up, so authorities will end up coercing them instead. "Russia is presenting the campaign as a drive for volunteer, professional personnel, rather than a new, mandatory mobilisation," it said. The UK MOD said that adding new troops would not fix Russia's struggles in Ukraine.
