Russian warships entered the English Channel amid simmering tensions with the U.S. and Europe over the conflict in Ukraine.
The squadron will conduct exercises in the area, according to a spokeswoman for Russia’s Northern Fleet. At least four vessels led by the anti-submarine ship Severomorsk plan drills in the expanse of water separating England from continental Europe, the state-run news service RIA Novosti said yesterday, citing a statement by the Russian Navy. NATO said the foray isn’t “alarming, it’s normal maritime traffic.”
