The United States announced on Wednesday that it had “seized” the Mariner, an oil tanker with ties to Venezuela, in the North Atlantic. During the American search for this boat, Marinera changed her name (from Bella 1) and replaced her former flag with the Russian flag. It turns out that this is not the first time: experts say that Moscow has agreed to lend its flag and protection to other ships of the so-called “dark fleet” trying to bypass the US blockade.
