Abstract

The article focuses on Italy's response to an unmanned Russian-flagged liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker that has run adrift near Malta. Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni's office stated that Maltese authorities established a 5-nautical-mile security perimeter, and both countries are jointly monitoring the situation due to the vessel carrying significant quantities of LNG and other fuels. The tanker was reportedly damaged in early March near Murmansk, with Russia attributing the attack to Ukrainian drone boats, and it had been sanctioned by the US while likely en route to China.
