Macron backs probe into alleged shadow fleet ship near French waters

The Kremlin said on Wednesday it had no information about the vessel, but added the Russian military had to act sometimes to restore order when foreign countries had taken what spokesman Dmitry Peskov described as "provocative actions."

Macron, speaking in Denmark at a summit of European Union leaders, said the collective assessment was that Russia's "shadow fleet" contains 600 to 1,000 ships.
