You are correct, it's actually an embargo, not a blockade. However? Embargo allows a nation to intercept vessels & seize them too. Anyone running a blockade is subject to capture & their vessel & cargo possibly seized. This applies to an embargo too, although the vessel might not get seized? The cargo will.
They have every right to enforce an embargo or blockade. One of the requirements of a lawful blockade is that ALL ships going to or coming from that nation are boarded and inspected. The "Russian ships" (there's 2 now) both refused boarding and fled. They're fair game.
