Given the Washington’s statements is the US shipping a fair game? Also most of the oil shipped from Novorossiysk belongs to Chevron. They pump it from Kazakhstan by KTK pipeline.

Ah, but this is not a war but a ‘special operation’. No doubt special rules apply.

As an historical note the Germans in both World Wars were very quick to use the label ‘terrorist’ for any action that did not conform to their rules of warfare. In WWI they executed a British merchant captain for attempting to ram the U-boat that was trying to sink him.
