Greenpeace activists have stolen a wax figure of French President Emmanuel Macron from the Grévin Museum in Paris and placed it outside the Russian Embassy in protest.
Three of the activists were dressed as museum employees. Near the embassy, they unfurled a banner that read: "Ukraine is burning and the trade continues."
Activists have called for a ban on imports of Russian gas and fertilizers. European leaders have vowed to crack down on Russia's "dark fleet," but so far little has been done to stop the hundreds of "ghost" ships that trade in Russian goods.
