UK warships to sail for Black Sea in May as Ukraine-Russia tensions rise- Sunday Times

reportedOne Type 45 destroyer armed with anti-aircraft missiles and an anti-submarine Type 23 frigate will leave the Royal Navy's carrier task group in the Mediterranean and head through the Bosphorus into the Black Sea, according to the report.

RAF F-35B Lightning stealth jets and Merlin submarine-hunting helicopters will stand ready on the task group's flag ship, the carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, to support the warships in the Black Sea, the report added. Tensions between Moscow and Kyiv have been rising amid a build-up of Russian troops along the border and clashes in eastern Ukraine between the army and pro-Russian separatists.A ministry spokesman told the newspaper that the UK government was working closely with Ukraine to monitor the situation and continued to call on Russia to de-escalate.

"The UK and our international allies are unwavering in our support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity", the newspaper quoted the spokesman as saying.

From which internal affairs in Russia does Putin need a distraction? Belarus? Is their a connection to the severe mistreatment of Navalny?

We cannot drink oil. We cannot drink lithium.

US send UK's warships near Russian borders and Russia should do the same! Sending submarines to UK waters! Simple!

Would be interesting if the British aircraft carrier is SUNK. 😎😎😎

U.K warships would have no chance of survival in the event a naval battle breaks out between England and Russia specifically in the Black Sea. That is Russia’s backyard and it is fully secured and equipped to deal with any threats from sea, air, and land with extreme prejudice.

What a good move to stop high tension in Black sea...

wow

Great news. Strength is the only thing Putin respects. Another Crimea averted.

How can they pass through the Bosphorus despite the Montrö Pact? Unless Turkey makes a fatal mistake to open this international agreement to dispute there is no way no war ship can sail through the Bosphorus.

In May? 😇

Hostilities will be underway by then.

Why We have lives of an earthquake, a virus, a nuclear war. How insensitive we live and how we enter into accounts as if we would never die. We do not destroy many hearts, do not deserve too many servants, persecute and build towers out of arrogance.
