US EditionRoyal Navy Shadows Russian Ships Through English Channel
- On June 20 and 21, 2025, Royal Navy vessels HMS Duncan and HMS Mersey shadowed the Russian corvette RFN Boikiy through the English Channel near Ushant and the Isle of Wight.
- This escort followed prior operations, including HMS Trent and Wildcat helicopters monitoring the Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich passing Gibraltar, through the Channel, and into the North Sea.
- Boikiy, commissioned in 2013 and returning from a Gulf of Guinea deployment, concealed its identity by transmitting a generic ID, which analysts called very uncommon.
- Lieutenant Commander Daniel Wardle described tracking the vessels as 'routine business for the Royal Navy,' while Commander Daniel Lee emphasized escorting foreign warships upholds maritime law and ensures sea security.
- The Royal Navy's actions demonstrate an ongoing commitment to safeguarding UK waters amid increasing Russian naval activity, with Minister Luke Pollard affirming that Royal Navy vessels will monitor all Russian transits in the Channel.
