KYIV, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Thursday welcomed the French navy intercepting a sanctioned Russian tanker in the Mediterranean, saying such action was "exactly the kind of resolve needed" to stop Russian oil revenues from financing war in Ukraine.
"Vessels must be apprehended. And wouldn’t it be fair to confiscate and sell the oil carried by these tankers?" he said on X.
