A Royal Navy warship has begun monitoring two Russian naval vessels as they transit through the English Channel as Boris Johnson met with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky amid what the pair described as “ongoing Russian aggression”.
The French military said on Monday that it had monitored two Russian ships, the Soobrazitelniy and the Stoykiy, and had now handed over the responsibility to HMS Argyle, a Type 23 frigate, and the US Navy’s USS Roosevelt.
