荷兰政府提议修改法律，以更有效地打击俄罗斯的“影子船队”，此举引发了俄罗斯大使馆的报复威胁。荷兰方面表示，这些调整将使其更容易拦截此类船只。这些船只常被用于规避国际制裁，且往往在无旗状态下航行。
The Dutch government proposed a legal change to crack down more effectively on Russia’s shadow fleet, prompting the Russian embassy to threaten its own retaliation. The Netherlands said the adjustments would allow it to more easily intercept such vessels, which are used to circumvent international sanctions and often sail without a flag.
根据政府周五发布的新闻稿，如果法案获得通过，在荷兰专属经济区内“悬挂虚假旗帜航行的影子船队船只将被扣留，并被要求前往锚地或港口接受进一步检查”。
If the bill is passed, shadow fleet ships “sailing under a false flag in the Dutch Exclusive Economic Zone can be detained and required to proceed to an anchorage or port for further inspection,” according to a government press release Friday.
俄罗斯驻荷兰大使馆迅速回应，在社交媒体上发文询问海牙“是否准备好迎接俄罗斯的反制措施？”
The Russian embassy in the Netherlands replied promptly to the development and asked if the Hague “is ready for Russia’s counteractions?” in a social media post.
并称“正如我国总统明确表示的那样，莫斯科可以自由地以适合我们的方式对针对我们船只的敌对行动进行对等反击”。欧洲各国目前已对俄罗斯在其领土上可能构成的威胁保持警惕。
“As our President has made it clear, Moscow is free to mirror hostile actions against our vessels in a suitable for us manner.”European nations are already on alert to potential Russian threats on its territory.
黑海西海岸针对商船的袭击也在增加，本周早些时候俄罗斯的无人机袭击已导致多艘船只受损。
Attacks on commercial vessels off the Black Sea’s western coast are also on the rise, with Russian drone strikes damaging multiple ships earlier this week.
