Six large Russian landing ships are sailing past Britain in the North Sea amid speculation that are bound for an impending invasion of Ukraine.
The Korolev, Minsk and Kaliningrad are from the Baltic Fleet and are sailing south passing England in open seas.
They are followed by the warships Olenegorsky Gornyak, Pyotr Morgunov, and Georgii Pobedonosets from the Northern Fleet which passed the Great Belt Bridge in Denmark yesterday as they left the Baltic Sea, three days after the earlier deployment.
