Not sure whether I follow, can you elaborate? If one detains a ship in international waters under Russian flag full of oil or whatever, how is this not a piracy? And if it is not, then what it is?
It wasn’t “under a Russian flag”… hence them having to admit that it was their ship after all.
It is under European sanctions though, as Russia invaded Ukraine. That’s why they’ve been running a “shadow fleet” in the first place. Because their are sanctions against Russian ships and trade. Sanctions from a federation of counties against the war.
Does it matter under what flag, though? As long as they are legally registered it shouldn’t. TBH ships are usually registered in all sorts of shady countries.
Also if a group of countries declares sanctions, it doesn’t allow them to stop the ships in international waters, does it?

Yes it does, and yes it does.
It matters that it’s Russia (because they started the war).
…and it gives Europe the right to do anything they like to oppose Russia.
I’m not into people like YOU propagandistically “arguing the rights and freedoms of authoritarians and fascist”.
You’re a fucken idiot for defending and devils advocating these fucks. And you can fuck off away from me with your pro Russia BS. Loser.
Their comment history is kinda sus.
