Estonia has already acted — boarding KIWALA, challenging JAGUAR, and absorbing political & military blowback. But now Russia has responded by detaining the fully flagged, commercially insured GREEN ADMIRE.

Will Estonia continue to enforce against non-compliant tankers — even as the risks of escalation grow?
Or will another NATO country between FALCON’s current location and Estonia step in to support?
So the EU is just going to wait until it reaches Estonia ? Last i checked, that tanker would have to pass Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Norway to get into Baltic sea aswell as the English channel (UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands). How bout they grab it there?
If inspections at sea are not feasible, could the port state jurisdiction play a role? Port states have the power to inspect ships for violations of rules, even in the high seas. (Of course, only if the ships docks in a harbour that is willing to do so.)
