‘Our gratitude’: Moscow says US to release two Russian crew members from seized oil tanker; move after request to Trump

Published

on

Russia announced on Friday that the United States will release two Russian crew members from a Russian-flagged oil tanker seized by US forces in the Atlantic Ocean two days ago.

“In response to our request, US President Donald Trump has decided to release two Russian citizens aboard the Marinera tanker, previously detained by the United States during an operation in the North Atlantic,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement.

The announcement followed Russian special envoy Kirill Dmitriev’s post on Telegram saying that Trump had decided to release “all Russians” on board the vessel.

On Wednesday, the United States seized the tanker, saying it was part of a “shadow fleet” that carried oil for countries such as Venezuela, Russia and Iran in violation of US sanctions, and boarded it in the North Atlantic despite the ship being escorted by the Russian navy.

The United States had previously said the Marinera’s crew could face prosecution, prompting Russia to call such a move “categorically unacceptable.” Moscow accused Washington of stoking tensions and threatening international shipping with the seizure, calling the action “illegal” and warning such a move could escalate military and political strain.
