💨 Abstract

Finnish authorities have accused senior officers of a Russia-linked oil tanker, the Eagle S, of damaging undersea cables between Finland and Estonia on December 25 last year. The vessel, part of Russia's shadow fleet, is accused of dragging its anchor and damaging the Estlink-2 power cable and communication links. The incident has raised concerns about Russia's involvement in European infrastructure sabotage. The officers face potential charges for aggravated criminal mischief and interference with telecommunications.
