Swedish customs officials have released a Russian cargo vessel that was boarded and inspected last week according to maritime authorities. The inspection, conducted as part of routine sanctions enforcement measures, concluded without any charges being filed against the vessel or its crew. The ship has been cleared to continue its voyage following the completion of the customs examination.

This incident highlights the ongoing scrutiny of Russian-flagged vessels in European waters amid current international sanctions.
