Why do any of them get through between Copenhagen and Malmo if the EU is sincere about choking off Russia's supply of money? If Iran can block the Strait of Hormuz with drones and a few surface to surface surely Denmark and Sweden can close off Oresund. After all, isn't that what Helsingborg Castle was built for?

Helsingborg and its Danish twin, Helsingoer, Hamlet's home.
Actually the traffic goes south around Sjaelland and up through the Storebaelt between Sjaelland and Fyn.
But your point remains valid. The Russian traffic all passes under a Danish bridge.

Definitely interested in the context of this. Deliberate provocation? Force protection measures against a civilian vessel that came too close? Some of both?No coincidence this happened a day later.

And the effect continues.
"Russian shadow fleet ships have started to circumvent British and French waters after the two countries stepped up interceptions of the sanctioned vessels.
"Five sanctioned tankers that had called at Primorsk, Russia’s largest oil-loading port, on Friday were making their way around the UK through the north Atlantic rather than taking the much shorter English Channel route, according to ship tracking data.
"A further two close to the Portuguese coast had also taken the long route around the UK.
"The diversions, which involve more than a day of extra sailing for each ship, come after 13 tankers were intercepted by French, British and Swedish militaries this year."
Now if only they could figure out something that worked on small boats.
