Russia: Shipping
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many escorts of Russian Federation vessels occurred in 2025.
Answered by Ministry of Defence
The Royal Navy routinely monitors and, where necessary, shadows Russian Federation vessels transiting through UK areas of interest.
The Royal Navy remains fully committed to safeguarding the UK's maritime approaches, protecting critical national infrastructure, and deterring hostile activity wherever required.
