WARSAW (Reuters) -A Russian ship from the "shadow fleet" covered by sanctions performed suspicious manoeuvres near a power cable connecting Poland with Sweden, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in a post on X on Wednesday.

"After the effective intervention of our military, the ship sailed to one of the Russian ports," he added. He said the Polish Navy's ORP Heweliusz was sailing to the scene.
