Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the United States has still not released two sailors from the Russian-flagged oil tanker Marinera following its seizure. Lavrov said the crew members remain in US custody despite repeated requests from Moscow for their return.
The comments come amid heightened tensions between Russia and the United States over sanctions, shipping, and maritime security. Russian officials say the detention of the sailors is unjustified and have called for their immediate release, while Washington has not publicly detailed the legal basis for the continued custody.
The seizure of the tanker and the status of its crew have added another point of friction to already strained relations between Moscow and Washington.
