Канада добавила в санкционный список еще 100 танкеров теневого флота России. А в целом Канада уже ввела санкции против более 600 судов путинской нефтяной эскадрильи. Чтобы усилить давление на Кремль, Великобритания будет перехватывать и досматривать в своих водах танкеры, которые перевозят подсанкционную нефть. Это усложнит задачи Кремля и, по крайней мере, временно доходы России от экспорта нефти снизятся – а значит, и финансирование ее войны против Украины. Как ситуация обстоит сейчас, в эфире телеканала FREEДОМ рассказал заместитель директора Ассоциации энергетических и природных ресурсов Украины Андрей Закревский.

Iran-linked hackers have broken into the personal email inbox of Kash Patel, FBI’s director, publishing photographs of him and other documents on the internet, the hackers and the bureau said on Friday.
On their website, the hacker group Handala Hack Team said Patel “will now find his name among the list of successfully hacked victims”. The hackers published a series of personal photographs of Patel sniffing and smoking cigars, riding in an antique convertible and making a face while taking a picture of himself in the mirror with a large bottle of rum.The FBI confirmed Patel’s emails had been targeted. In a statement, FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson said: “We have taken all necessary steps to mitigate potential risks associated with this activity,” and that the data involved was “historical in nature and involves no government information”.
Handala, which presents itself as a group of pro-Palestinian vigilante hackers, is considered by western researchers to be one of several personas used by Iranian government cyberintelligence units. Handala recently claimed the hack of Michigan-based medical devices and services provider Stryker on 11 March, saying they had deleted a big trove of company data.
Handala did not return messages. Reuters could not access its website late on Friday.— Michael Novakhov (@mikenov) Mar 28, 2026
