Russia's Defense Ministry said its armed forces fired warning shots at a British destroyer intruding into its territorial seas near Crimea, but the U.K. government denied that such events occurred

The Russian ministry said Wednesday that its Black Sea Fleet and the border patrol of the nation’s Federal Security Service had to fire shots to stop HMS Defender from further violating Russia’s territorial waters.

But the U.K. government denied the report, saying the ship was “innocently” passing through Ukrainian waters. U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said in a statement posted on Twitter that the destroyer entered an internationally recognized traffic separation corridor before exiting. “As is routine, Russian vessels shadowed her passage and she was made aware of training exercises in her wider vicinity,” he said.

He later told a parliamentary committee that the ship was “hailed” by Russian authorities and informed of a Russian training exercise nearby, and added that the British ambassador in Russia hadn’t been summoned.

They threw such a thing to them, almost for breakfast!) The British are cowardly lying! Next time they will be taken to their 'native' Sevastopol, under escort!

Russia that is ,has been for years had its Submarines in British Norwegian and mediterranean waters. Their Bombers in the same Airspace. Allay accompanied out by RAF or R.N.

It didn’t

just saying is a shot over the bows RU 1 UK 0

I wonder what the Ukrainians think about this - the story makes essentially no mention of them

If the Russian had shot, the ship would now lie at the bottom of the sea, the British are themselves to blame, there bursts everyone times the collar 😉😂😂

Maybe captain of that metal pile need some compass?

Because Crimea is part of Russia now? Thanks Obama-Biden for allowing that to happen Biden
