Russia's shadow war at sea

There are over a thousand oil tankers at sea that are helping finance Russia's war in Ukraine in plain sight.

The UK and EU know about them, they pass right by our coasts, but so far have been unable to stop them at any sort of scale. This is the story of a shadow ship, sailing its way through sanctions, sabotage and subterfuge.
