The Russian ship "Standart" was allowed to enter the harbor of the French city of La Rochelle, bypassing sanctions.

The 34-meter-long three-masted ship, built in 1999 and an exact copy of the frigate of Tsar Peter the Great, was banned in early July by order of the head of state from entering the port of Brest and participating in the city's maritime festivities.
However, the prefect of the Charente Maritime (French department of Charente-Maritime) allowed the ship to stop at La Rochelle marina to secure supplies.
"This was authorized by the prefect of the Charente Maritime, who has authority over all ports," a port source told AFP.
