On June 24, 2024, the European Council explicitly confirmed that “replicas of historic ships” fell within the scope of port sanctions. The aim was to put an end to the misleading rewriting of EU regulations by the Russian Shtandart influence network operating within the French state apparatus. In some « départements, the clarification » has been taken into account. On the other hand, the sanctions fraud continues in La Rochelle, with the complicity of Brice Blondel, Prefect of Charente-Maritime. The stopover on August 5 and 6 bears witness to this.

Shtandart, what should Ukraine do against Shoigu and Putin’s ambassador ship occupying French ports?
I recommend that the Ukrainian government get in touch with the French government to obtain the irrevocable expulsion, as soon as possible, of Shtandat, the ambassador ship of Putin and Choigou. Failing that, I suggest that France’s reneging on its signature should be publicised as widely as possible.

The French newspaper “Libération” sheds light on the actions of the pro-Russian lobbyist.
