Finland has detained a ship and its crew after a critical undersea telecommunication cable connecting the country to Estonia was damaged Wednesday, Finnish authorities said.
It is extremely obvious all these cable cutting “accidents” are done on purpose by Russia, Russian actors, or someone contracted by Russia. The ship should be seized and used for financing new cables, even if it the rusty bathtub is only worth a couple of bucks. Most importantly the crew (regardless of nationality) needs to be sentenced to something like 20-30 years in jail for acts of war or the like. Then future crews and shipping companies will realise the cost of accepting these contracts from Russia.
