In Italy, there was a sensational situation related to the arrest of a vessel, which is suspected of transporting Russian drones intended for military use in Libya. This incident has aroused international interest because of its potential consequences for international security and compliance with international sanctions on the UN.
The incident occurred when the ship sailed to Bengaz, the main port of Libya. Italian media reported that millions of dollars were found on board.
The operation was performed on request of the United States, which expressed anxiety due to increased Russian influence in the region. In particular, there is suspicion that Russia can try to install a military base in the Tobruk in the East of Libya.
According to Corriere Della Sera, the MSC Arina ship departed from China on April 30 this year. However, in response to journalists' request, MSC representatives stated that they did not have information about the confiscation of their containers.
The details of the cargo, which was on board, remain unknown, but, according to the media, we are talking about Russian unmanned aircraft. This incident casts doubt on the ability of the international community to control the supply of weapons to conflict zones, in particular as part of compliance with the sanctions imposed by the United Nations.
