The Indian Foreign Ministry has dealt with the issue of repatriation of Russian sailors from the Unity tanker

The Indian Foreign Ministry is taking measures to repatriate Russian sailors from the Unity tanker arrested off the coast of Odisha. This was stated at a briefing by the representative of the department Randhir Jaiswal.

“We are aware of this situation and maintain constant contact with the Russian Embassy,” Jaiswal said.

The tanker Unity, flying the flag of Cameroon, was arrested in the state of Odisha in early May. The ship was carrying Russian oil. The Russian Consulate General in Calcutta said 23 people were on board, including 20 Russians, one citizen of Kazakhstan and another Egyptian. Supplies of food and water, according to the captain, they will last until the end of September.
