      “According to the police, the Eagle S tanker is suspected of damaging the Estlink 2 electrical cable. The Border Guard asked the Eagle S to raise the anchor, but only the anchor chain surfaced. The police took possession of the vessel and it is in Finnish waters.According to customs, the ship belongs to the Russian shadow fleet and is also involved in evading sanctions. A total of four data cables are also currently out of service. The damage to the data cables is related to the same entity.”

      The above article also has a press conference ongoing. I will update this comment if anything else major is revealed.

      Edit 15:13 Helsinki time: Prime Minister Orpo has been in contact with other Nordic, Baltic, EU, and NATO leaders.
      No other ships are suspected at this point.
      The Finnish police have not reached out to Russian authorities.

      I politely ask that you only rely on information from Yle or ERR in this matter. I’ve seen a lot of random speculation articles being posted and they really aren’t helping.

      when will this stop being a matter of limp dicked police, and a matter of military and national security?

      I’m not familiar with maritime law but at what point is this not piracy?

      Europe is sitting on its hands whistling like those incidents are just nothing to see here situation. This is absolutely terrorism most probably perpetrated by Russia, and the response should have been swift.

      But limp-dicked politicians are doing almost nothing, and this is why Europe is swept by far right idiots that are screeching about some issues, and people believe they can change something.

      Relax, it is probably just a special anchor operation, not sabotage.

      I’d just like to have a word with all those “but how can you say it’s most likely the Russians ” people from the other day. I’m really interested in their opinion now.

      I don’t understand why Europe doesn’t do this back to Russia, just fking server their cables

      Russian is trawling the EU

      It’s a garbage situation, as the damage likely exceed the cost of the ship.

      The issue is the clear lack of appetite for European nations to go to war whereas Russia doesn’t have that problem as they are already at war for years now, have a war economy going and a population that is completely under the boot of the Kremlin. Russia firmly sees and understands itself as being at war with not only Ukraine but also with the west, whereas countries in the west have differing views on how close they even are to war let alone if they’re even “at war” with Russia. In short, European nations feel like they’ve much more to lose than Russia does by engaging in this behavior. This is short term thinking in my opinion but it is what it is. And then some nations are unironically calling for outright appeasement and some are playing both sides so hard that we begin to question if they’re even aligned with the west anymore.

      European nations are that, multiple countries. They’re afraid that if they escalate and respond in kind, other allies wont. They’re afraid that if they go to war then their political rivals will get a surge in support. They’re still (somehow) afraid of Russias nuclear rhetoric and it’s probably difficult to even do some form of appropriate response to this kind of hybrid warfare.

      We’re just going to continue to twiddle our thumbs and hope it doesn’t get worse until it gets worse regardless. How bad it gets simply depends on when we find some semblance of a fucking spine.

      I’ve seen this one before.

      *We strongly condemn the destruction of civil infrastructure of other states. It is illegal to attack infrastructure of other countries under international law.*

      *The EU*

      This is an act of war! Why isn’t our weak government saying anything?

    19. Schwartzy94 on

      Hopefully these things happen more and more… Maybe west will actually start to do something then.

      Police commissioner Ilkka Koskimäki was asked if Russia has been contacted. “No”, answered Koskimäki.

      The question about contacting Russia in the future was answered shortly, “We won’t.”

      Koskimäki said he won’t continue this discussion further.

      Typical Finnish interview, it takes longer to type the last name than the answers.

      The ship is probably worthless. Could we require all ships in the area to carry insurance which would cover this sort of damage, or else do not allow them enter?

      You can bank on it, Putin would do whatever it takes to disrupt the west, he’s unable to fight toe to toe, so his dirty tactics are next on his agenda…

    29. StevenK71 on

      And they will sit and speak angry words to Putin? Oh, not even angry, LOL

      every ship, which damages cables in similar “accident” should be confiscated, and the crew charged with terrorism. Vision of 20 years in western prison should make other russian crews to think twice about their payments
