On board the Russian frigate «Standard», which France has prohibited from docking at any port in the Finistère department, the water supply is running low.

📣 This was reported by Jean-Paul Elkan, head of the sailors' aid association Mor Glaz.

❌ According to him, no authority can prevent a ship from entering a port to replenish its supplies of water, food, and fuel. However, he predicts that due to the decision of the French authorities, "the situation on the ship will quickly deteriorate; they are already facing a water shortage."

🌍 According to Captain Vladimir Martus of the "Standard," the sailing ship, which is anchored half a kilometer off the Atlantic coast of France, has a multinational crew consisting of 17 sailors from Russia, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, the USA, England, and Israel.

🚤 The frigate "Standard" is an exact replica of a warship built by Peter the Great in 1703 for the defense of St. Petersburg. The modern "Standard," built in 1999, is an active training sailing ship.

⁉️ France has prohibited the "Standard" from docking in its ports due to the presence of the Russian flag on board. Russian authorities have called this decision a "hostile act" and stated that it violates international maritime law.

Spain, following France, denies the Russian frigate "Standard" entry into its ports.

"Spanish ports are not allowing us in. We received information that the ministry has sent out notifications to all Spanish ports to deny the 'Standard' entry," reported the ship's captain, Vladimir Martus.

⛽️❌ Currently, the frigate is anchored five hundred meters off the coast of Galicia, Spain. According to Martus, the "Standard" cannot leave EU waters due to a lack of fuel.

🚰 They managed to replenish their water supplies in France thanks to the help of sailors from a French yacht club, who brought water in canisters to the ship in several trips using motorboats.

📌 It should be noted that yesterday, the prefecture of the French department of Finistère prohibited the frigate from entering the port due to the presence of the Russian flag on board.

🚤❌ Today, the refusal was justified by the expanded sanctions against Russia that came into effect on June 24, which also apply to "copies of historical ships."

🇪🇸🚫 After being denied entry in France, the frigate headed towards the shores of Spain, where it had an agreement for port entry. However, upon arrival, it was also denied.

📣 Martus stated that he intends to appeal directly to the European Union in an attempt to have the sanctions lifted and return to Russia without incident.
