The Russians explained why their warship had crashed into La Manche.

A Russian naval ship fired warning shots at a British-flagged yacht in the English Channel after the yacht approached too closely, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. The yacht changed course and moved away following unsuccessful attempts to establish radio contact with the Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich. The Russian ministry stated that flares and sound signals were used to attract the attention of the yacht's crew, but the vessel continued to approach dangerously. When the distance between the two vessels fell below 150 meters, the frigate commander decided to open fire with a

Ruski ratni brod ⁠ispalio je hice upozorenja ⁠na jahtu koja plovi pod zastavom Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva jer im se "opasno približila" u La Mancheu, priopćilo je u utorak rusko ministarstvo obrane.

Jahta je promijenila kurs i udaljila se nakon što je fregata Admiral Grigorovich ispalila hice upozorenja nakon neuspjelih pokušaja uspostavljanja radijskog kontakta, priopćilo je ministarstvo.

"Kako bi privukli pozornost posade jahte, lansirane su baklje i poslani zvučni signali. Unatoč tim mjerama, brod se nastavio opasno približavati. Kada je udaljenost (između dva broda) pala ispod 150 metara, zapovjednik fregate odlučio je otvoriti preventivnu vatru na brod oružjem malog kalibra", priopćilo je rusko ministarstvo obrane, prenosi AFP.

Posada jahte ustvrdila je da su upozoravajući hici ispaljeni s udaljenosti od otprilike 457 metara, javlja dpa.

Čamac s patrolnog broda HMS Tyne poslan je na jahtu kako bi prikupio podatke i provjerio sigurnost posade.

Britansko ministarstvo obrane priopćilo je da istražuje izvješća o incidentu u La Mancheu u blizini britanskih teritorijalnih voda. Nema izvještaja o ozlijeđenima.

Ruski ⁠ratni brod ⁠djelovao u skladu s pravilima međunarodne ⁠plovidbe te ‌poduzeo ⁠sve ⁠mjere kako bi spriječio ‌incident, izvijestila je državna novinska agencija RIA, citirajući rusko ministarstvo, prenosi Reuters.

Agencija TASS izvijestila je da je ruska fregata u više navrata pokušala kontaktirati jahtu, ali nije bilo odgovora.

U priopćenju objavljenom u ponedjeljak, britanska mornarica navela je da su dva britanska patrolna broda pratila fregatu Admiral Grigorovich u La Mancheu, zapadno od francuskog grada Bresta.

U nedjelju su britanski komandosi u La Mancheu presreli i preuzeli kontrolu nad ruskim tankerom iz takozvane 'flote u sjeni', koji je pod međunarodnim sankcijama. Bila je to prva operacija usmjerena na ometanje prihoda od izvoza nafte kojima se financira ruski rat u Ukrajini.
