Russia-UK Ties

UK tracks Russian spy ship in British waters

The Russian vessel "Yantar" has raised concerns in the UK by entering British waters multiple times, most recently earlier this week. Defense Secretary John Healey announced stricter Royal Navy rules of engagement, signaling a readiness for robust action. The "Yantar" has previously been observed "loitering" near critical undersea infrastructure, suggesting reconnaissance activity. Its repeated presence is seen as testing UK security measures. The vessel is currently reported in the North Sea, though conflicting sources debate whether it remains in British waters.
