I just saw a video/news that the French had boarded a Russian ship in the English Channel

I’m not posting a link because I don’t know about the source. I just wonder if anyone else has seen anything about this? It’s supposedly a civilian ship but there were some explosions. If true it certainly seems significant.

That sounds about right. I can't imagine if it were happening now it wouldn't be all over the news. captain queeg May 2022 #2

There are multiple sources reporting this, but they all say essentially the same thing. Also, the ship was help until late March when it was ordered released by a French court.
