The Royal Navy conducted a three-day operation in the North Sea and English Channel to track Russian Navy vessels and sanctioned cargo ships, using warships and a helicopter. The operation involved HMS Duncan, HMS St Albans, and HMS Severn, along with a Merlin helicopter, monitoring four vessels, including the Russian destroyer Admiral Levchenko escorting sanctioned cargo ships. The Royal Navy reported that this operation has led to increased routing changes for Russian vessels, imposing costs and delays. This follows a June incident where Royal Marines and National Crime Agency officers boarded a Russian 'shadow fleet' oil tanker, resulting in an arrest for sanctions violations. The operation reflects a 25% increase in Royal Navy activity monitoring Russian movements compared to the same period in 2025.
