Russia Releases VIDEO Of British Warship’s Incursion Into Waters Near Crimea by nurudeen181(m): 4:06am On Jun 25, 2021 |
Russia has released a video showing a coast guard
vessel warning the HMS Defender that it was violating its
state border and firing warning shots at the British
warship, challenging London’s assertions about
Wednesday's encounter.
The short clip, released on Thursday by Russia’s Federal
Security Bureau (FSB), shows the confrontation between
a patrol ship and the ironically named Royal Navy
destroyer that sailed past Cape Fiolent, near the Crimean
city of Sevastopol on Wednesday.
“If you don’t change course to starboard, I will fire,” the
coast guard vessel officer radioes the British destroyer,
warning the warship it was about to violate Russian
territorial waters.
“You must immediately leave the territorial sea of Russian
Federation,” comes the second warning. Then the captain
is heard issuing the orders, in Russian. “Fire warning
shots. DO NOT, repeat NOT hit the Defender . Confirm,
over.”
Moscow has also claimed that at least one interceptor
aircraft also dropped bombs onto the Defender’s course,
careful not to hit the invading ship.
On Wednesday, London officially declared that “no
warning shots have been fired at HMS Defender ,” and the
ship was simply “conducting innocent passage through
Ukrainian territorial waters in accordance with international
law.”
The UK considers Crimea – a historically Russian
peninsula that was reabsorbed by Moscow following a
2014 referendum – to be still part of Ukraine. The
strategically vital region, which is overwhelmingly
ethnically Russian, was signed over to Kiev, in 1954, while
both countries were part of a union state. The move was
made for both practical and symbolic reasons by Nikita
Khrushchev, who had grown up in the Donbass.
The supposedly “ innocent passage ” was “a deliberate
move to make a point to Russia, ” according to Jonathan
Beale, a BBC military correspondent who was on board
the destroyer.
The Royal Navy’s provocation came just a day after
Russia marked 80 years since the invasion of the Soviet
Union by Nazi Germany and its allies in 1941. Speaking
with reporters on Thursday, Deputy Foreign Minister
Sergey Ryabkov said that Russia takes its territorial
integrity seriously.
“We can only appeal to common sense and demand
respect for international law, ” Ryabkov told reporters. “If
that doesn’t help and if our colleagues don’t understand,
we may not only bomb on course, but also on target.”
