An oil tanker sailing under the flag of Russia arrived in UK territorial waters — days after it was seized in the Atlantic Ocean by US forces.
“The Bella 1 entered UK waters to be replenished with essential supplies - including food and water for the crew - yesterday before it continues its onward journey,” the country’s Department for Transport said in a statement.
