According to the UK Navy, HMS Portland has left Plymouth port to track the displacement of the Russian frigate "Admiral Kasatonov" and Tanker of Support "Academician Pashin". The British Royal Navy reported that they are watching the movements of the Russian frigate and tanker in the waters near the UK coast. This was reported on the website of the department.

The Navy press service noted that the HMS Portland left Plymouth port to track the displacement of the Russian frigate "Admiral Kasatonov" with controlled missiles on board and tanker Support "Academician Pashin". The British frigate accompanied the Russian ships in La Chans on Sunday, March 12, when they headed to the North Sea and passed through the Bay of Biscay.

"The royal fleet regularly responds to the emergence of warships in our territorial waters and surrounding maritime areas to ensure the observance of maritime law and prevent malicious activity," said the ship commander Ed Moss-Wed. According to him, the support of the Russian operational group testifies to the commitment of the royal fleet and the NATO Alliance to maintain safety at sea in accordance with national interests.

The Admiral Kasatonov Frigate has been in the eastern Mediterranean from the beginning of 2022, and the Academician Pashin tanker - since the end of last year. Last Wednesday, Russian ships passed through the Gibraltar Strait, and NATO warships accompanied them throughout the way. Recall that due to the growth of security in the UK decided to increase the cost of nuclear forces and fleet of submarines by 3. 4 billion euros.
