00:00Estonia has warned that Russia is willing to protect its Shadow Fleet with military force.
00:07They said a Russian fighter jet breached NATO airspace
00:12when it came to check on a suspected Shadow Fleet vessel that the Navy had intercepted.
00:17Our forces went to guide the Shadow Fleet vessel to our territorial waters to inspect
00:28because there was no insurance, there was no flag, the typical Russian Shadow Fleet vessel.
00:34But what is different, and it is important, that the Russian Federation send fighter jets to check the situation.
00:48Moscow started using the vessels in an effort to dodge international sanctions on its oil export.
00:55Europe has been targeting the ships by issuing sanctions against Russia
01:00as they fear the vessels are capable of oil spills resulting in environmental catastrophes.
