The 14 victories of the “No Shtandart In Europe” collective in 2024

It took two years for the French rule of law in to take action against the Shtandart scandal, which violates EU sanctions because of the power of Russian networks of influence. We owe this to the Spanish example, to a small handful of professional journalists and to a call to order from the European Council. Thanks to them, 2024 will have been the year of 14 great victories.

France: what to do with the Russian Vladimir Martus and his ship the ‘Shtandart’?

The Russian ship ‘Shtandart’ is continuing its campaign against EU sanctions by demanding a new port of call in Finistère, Brittany. Vladimir Martus is resorting to his usual harassment and humanitarian blackmail. Here is the action plan we are proposing to the Maritime Prefect, Commander-in-Chief for the Atlantic, and the Prefect of Finistère to put a definitive end to the mission of interference and destabilisation, of which he is the hero for the Kremlin’s propaganda agencies, thanks to his challenging of the French and European authorities.

Report to the European authorities about the illegal stopover of the Russian « Shtandart » in La Rochelle with the complicity of Brice Blondel, Prefect of Charente-Maritime.

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. In addition, I recommend that the « Shtandart » vessel be considered a legitimate target by the Ukrainian armed forces when transiting international waters.

Case: why is La Rochelle harbour occupied by the Russian ship » Shtandart « ?

After a summer 2023 of lucrative commercial performances at various French maritime festivals, the Russian ship « Shtandart » is back in La Rochelle, the epicentre of an astonishing Franco-Russian collaboration.
