The Royal Navy mentioned that the submarine-hunting frigates, along with the P8 Poseidon patrol aircraft, tracked the movements of Russia’s Navy in that Channel, North Atlantic, and North Sea, without mentioning when the operation occurred.

The Russian vessels included corvettes Grad and Boikiy, the cruiser Marshal Ustinov, the destroyer Severomorsk belonging to the Udaloy class, and others, per the statement.

Britain is one of the key defence suppliers for Ukraine, and Russia has reportedly condemned the support Britain has extended to Kyiv.
