The presence of the Shtandart in Spanish waters is not a simple maritime incident but a clear breach of European sanctions and Spain’s national sovereignty. This ship, a symbol of Russian propaganda and previously expelled from Spain in 2024, returned to Galicia in September 2025, openly defying the country’s decisions. Its presence undermines the credibility of the European Union’s restrictive measures and requires a firm and immediate response from the Spanish authorities.

Alerta: violación de las aguas territoriales españolas por el « Shtandart », buque ruso bajo sanciones
La entrada del buque ruso Shtandart en aguas españolas no es un simple incidente marítimo, sino una flagrante violación de las sanciones europeas y de la soberanía nacional. Este buque, símbolo de la propaganda rusa y ya expulsado de España en 2024, regresó a Galicia en septiembre de 2025, desafiando abiertamente las decisiones de este país. Su presencia constituye una amenaza a la credibilidad de las medidas restrictivas de la Unión Europea y exige una respuesta firme e inmediata de las autoridades españolas.

The “Shtandart” explicitly banned – the Court of Justice of the European Union puts an end to its deceptive narrative
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU)has confirmed that the Russian ship Shtandart has been subject to port sanctions since 16 April 2022. With Vladimir Martus having made public the confidential correspondence received on this subject, a number of organisations and institutions that chose to ignore the texts and disregard the well-founded warnings communicated to them could find themselves in an awkward position.
¿Por qué el buque sancionado «Shtandart» forma parte de la flota fantasma rusa?
El Shtandart MMSI 518999255, buque sujeto a sanciones, afirma no estar bajo pabellón ruso, estar gestionado por una empresa alemana y pertenecer a una ciudadana finlandesa. Si a esto le sumamos el hecho de que desconecta con frecuencia su sistema de identificación automática (AIS), queda claro que se trata de un montaje destinado a eludir las sanciones y de un buque perteneciente a la flota fantasma rusa. Mientras tanto, con el fin de alimentar la indignación y el odio del público contra las autoridades y las instituciones, el capitán y propietario oculto del Shtandart afirma que su barco está sancionado porque «un día nació en Rusia».
Pourquoi le navire sous sanctions “Shtandart » fait-il partie de la flotte fantôme russe ?
Le Shtandart MMSI 518999255, un navire sous sanctions, prétend ne pas être sous pavillon russe, être géré par une société allemande et appartenir à une citoyenne finlandaise. Si l’on ajoute à cela le fait qu’il déconnecte fréquemment son système d’identification automatique (AIS), il apparaît clairement qu’il s’agit d’un montage destiné à contourner les sanctions et d’un navire appartenant à la flotte fantôme russe. Pendant ce temps, afin d’alimenter l’indignation et la haine du public contre les autorités et les institutions, le skipper et propriétaire caché du Shtandart prétend que c’est parce qu’il est « un jour né en Russie » que son navire est sanctionné.
Why is the sanctioned ship ‘Shtandart’ part of the Russian shadow fleet?
The Shtandart MMSI 518999255, a Russian vessel under sanctions, claims not to be under a Russian flag, to be managed by a German company, and to be owned by a Finnish citizen. Given that it frequently disconnects its AIS, it is clear that this is a set-up designed to circumvent the sanctions, and that the Shtandart is a vessel belonging to the Russian shadow fleet. Meanwhile, in order to fuel public outrage and hatred against the authorities and the institutions, the Shtandart’s skipper and hidden owner pretends that it is because he was « once born in Russia » that his ship is sanctioned.
