Greece seized a Russian oil tanker with 19 crew on board under Ukraine sanctions imposed by the European Union, Reuters reported.

The Greek coast guard said Tuesday it had detained Pegas, a Russian-flagged tanker, near the town of Karystos, per Reuters.

"It has been seized as part of EU sanctions," a shipping ministry official said of the Pegas, per Reuters.

With limited exemptions, in early April, the EU banned Russian vessels from entering ports in the bloc.

10. I have to ask though what Greece's neighbor Turkey is doing now as well as the future

in regards to Russian vessels?
Personally I think they should bar them and any vessel that trades at any of the Ukrainian ports that Russia has seized.
