Sybiha hails Swedish Supreme Court decision to transfer Russian ship to Ukraine
Ukrainian FM Andrii Sybiha welcomed a decision by the Supreme Court of Sweden to uphold the confiscation and transfer to Ukraine of the vessel Caffa, linked to Russia's shadow fleet, he wrote on X on Aug. 6.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha expressed satisfaction with Sweden's Supreme Court ruling to uphold the seizure and transfer of the Russian ship Caffa to Ukraine. The decision, announced on August 6, marks a crucial international precedent in the fight against sanctions evasion and the illegal activities of Russia's shadow fleet.
The foreign minister commended the court's action in holding violators of international law accountable. Sweden intercepted the vessel Caffa in the Baltic Sea on March 6, suspecting it of using a fraudulent flag and breaching maritime law and safety regulations. The ship was initially seized by the Swedish Coast Guard. Investigations revealed that Caffa was sailing under a false flag and was listed in Ukrainian registries as a vessel involved in the transportation of stolen property.
