Two Russian-flagged ships, the VF Tanker 15 and the Nefterodovuz 47, are in Batumi harbor. The ships entered the port last night. The National Movement is spreading the information.
The opposition claims that the government cannot and does not control the movement of ships. According to official data, the VF Tanker 15 entered from Russia and was importing oil products. It is not known where it is going to load the goods.
"Yesterday two more ships with sanctioned oil, sailing under the Russian flag, stopped by. The authorities, of course, with such high public interest and question marks, should monitor and communicate to the public on a daily basis which ships are entering under the Russian flag, that is, if it does or doesn't have sanctioned cargo, but the authorities support Russia and Putin in circumventing sanctions," said UNM member Elguja Bagrationi.
