๐ท๐บ Russia is considering deploying armed escort teams and naval protection for vessels under the Russian flag.
Presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev said measures are being developed to place special defensive systems on ships and to organize convoy protection by the Russian Navy. He stressed that diplomatic and legal tools are often insufficient amid the Western campaign against Russian shipping.
If new threats emerge from European countries, Russia will implement additional countermeasures.
Patrushev called the attack on the tanker Arktik Metagas in the Mediterranean a blatant act and classified it as international terrorism.
