These are propaganda coups for the Russians. They’re dragging anchors and getting away with it.
Can’t EU countries block Russian vessels navigating the Baltic sea?
To access the Baltic sea from the North sea any ship must cross the Danish straits. Same question.
It gives the impression they’re winning and makes the EU and NATO look weak.
Russian vessels could accidentally sink. I heard these are not in a very good condition.
That wouldn’t be good for the fragile ecosystem in the Baltic sea.
What about they sink in the port, in Mediterranean, and other places? Only by accident of course.
The EU doesn’t want to be at war with Russia.
Russia also should really not want to be at war with the EU, but as you noticed, they don’t seem to care much about what they should do. If they fuck around enough, they may find out, but they are betting they won’t.
For balance, the last time this happened, when people were calling for nukes on Moscow, Sweden investigated, decided it was not deliberate, and released the ship
Weren’t the last few culprits Chinese ships?
I hope the ships will be inspected around denmark-sweden and rejected if deemed unseaworthy.
Place sea mines defending the cables. Post maps for civilian ships to keep out of the mine zones. Anyone goes near the cables anyway? Well, you were warned.
