Greenpeace has repeatedly accused France of maintaining ties with Russia's state-owned energy company

Police arrested four Greenpeace activists on Monday for blocking a cargo ship in France that they alleged was transporting uranium from Russia for the country's nuclear power plants.

Around 20 protestors carrying signs reading "Stop toxic contracts" and "Solidarity with Ukrainians", blockaded the Mikhail Dudin at the northern port of Dunkirk early on Monday morning, to prevent it from unloading its cargo, an AFP journalist observed.
