The captain of an oil tanker refused to refuel a Russian ship to protest Ukraine's invasion. The crew is 'very proud,' his wife says.The Georgian captain of an oil tanker earlier this week refused to refuel a Russian ship in protest of the country's invasion of Ukraine, and the crew is "very proud," the captain's wife told Insider.
Video of the incident, which took place Sunday, was first posted by the Voice of America reporter Fatima Tlis and later shared widely on social media.
It shows the vessel's first officer, whom Insider is identifying as Lasha, speaking with a Russian ship over the radio after it asked for fuel. Insider is not disclosing Lasha's last name to protect his identity, which we verified.
