My family was deported from there and we were swedes. I'm sure they'll hate Russia being nearby. They want lots of people removed.
Isn't it about time nato stopped russian ships using the baltic sea? It doesn't belong to them.
Oh wow, Russia tankers are passing through. BS!
If Europe stops buying refined Indian oilproducts, problem solved
after 1,200 year. Viking afraid to somebody…
all they have to do is catch there ships and bring inland and dont give them back and keep there oil also lol
Maybe the EU can remove the sanctions instead of complaining about shadow fleet😂
Why is this lady speaking as if Sweden would be the only one defending Gotland? They literally made a NATO Lake out of the Baltic. Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, and Denmark are there too 🤦🏻♂️
The cause and foundation of the problem is italy and France Paris,Rome,Napolitano,Napoli,America, Rome,Taranto,Torino,Sardinia &**((
GOD bless Russia,Glory to Russia in jesus mighty name Amen &**
Swedish people 1no our's Nobel prize closed. This Nobel prize usa game 🎮 only.
Gazprom is sanctioned so why does Gazprom have anything on Swedish soil at all?
Until and unless Sweden is affected by these ships- they should not be used as pawns for NATO, unless they want to be a willing partner in attacking Russia. Biden was not wise, when he refused to pay attention to Putin’s concern about NATO incursion in Ukraine, at its doorstep. Now we know that his brain is not functioning as a wise leader. He is ousted from his leadership. We need wise leaders in Europe with strong spine to take care of their own wellbeing as they share the same continent unlike America. Hegemony has its limit when people stand up against coercion.
fear mongering
sanctions are illegal

And nobody talks about how china also has huge oil tankers and mobile oil drilling and refining ships, meaning that both countries could increase their trade, because China isn't on the list but with their practices and Dictatorship they would definitely help Putin. China could send their ships instead to Russia and take the Oil back. Don't let this go under the radar.
I wonder how far a Ukrainian drone can fly, in order to hit an empty tanker in dock?
How do international waters work?
The west has been extremely naive about national security issues. Even now, we are forced to make certain concessions because previous administrations made horrible idiotic decisions like Nord Stream pipelines. China is another example of how naive the west is to countries that use us and believe us to be enemies. China is using us for economic, technological, and trade advantages that us all. Once they gain what they want which they have it is over for industries like automobiles.
Welcome to Israel 😉
DW is a real funny network…Why would Putin want Europe? He is going to steal all the good people and the West will stuck with the bottom of the bucket…I remember one US congressman asked the head of the joint chiefs about stopping those Russian tankers, the General basicilly said that is called war. There are no sactions under BRICS…
Have nostalgic memories of Visby, Gotland. Raw and beautiful place

It is called Freedom of Navigation in International Waters and the so called Shadow Fleet is called it from the Western Dictatorships.
And they may be dragging the bottom to damage communications pipelines…
YET THE ?????? BLEW UP N. PIPE LINE. # 2 REPAIRED. THIS FED CHEAP GAS INTO GERMANY!! CAUSING PROBLEMS!! ECONOMIC PROBLEMS!! RUSSIA CAN TURN ON # 2 ??? JUST 📞 CALL !!!
What no one says is that the amount of oil that the world can produce is finite and it is not possible to cancel Russia, this oil goes to India for them to resell to Europe for a premium price.
How if that is not a normal Russian ship….but giant floating Russian bomb? has Europe a special tools to see through the steel to see what the real inside?
lots of poor coping and whining nafo bots 🤗
It is a Russian Nuclear missile Ship disguised to look like a Oil tanker.
His oil , he can do and sell what he wants. The west and its puppets need to get over it. Oil is shipped many ways . The old bat in this video needs to get over it .
Have the Swedes and the Germans lost their minds? Russia attacking Sweden is an idiotic, hysterical fantasy. Continuing to push Russia closer and closer to nuclear war? Thats a real threat to everybody and the Swedes.
Russia shouldn’t be exporting oil, blood money. India must be punished for breaking sanctions.
ruzzian oil tankers have double role… they are spy ships as well.
Yeah, the CIA might sabotage them, they’re good at that.
CLOSE THE PASSAGES
I'm no fan of Russia, but this was such poor reporting
NATO a tiger paper
I'd be more worried about a potential attack if Russia could even secure their own borders, but Ukraine has proven how weak they actually are.
