The British Somerset warship escorted the Russian submarine "Krasnodar" as it passed through the English Channel, separating the United Kingdom from continental Europe. This Monday, May 8, reports the site of the Royal Navy. According to the commander of the ship Tim Berry, patrolling the sea both in British waters and beyond is one of the main tasks of the fleet: "Escorting foreign warships, in this case Russian submarines, when they pass through our waters, simply Is part of the effort to protect our island nation ".

The submarine "Krasnodar", as reported, passed through the English Channel early in the morning on May 5. In January 2017, British Defense Minister Michael Fellon said that the British fleet is closely monitoring the return of the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov from Syria. The official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Igor Konashenkov, responded that the fleet of our country does not need "meaningless escort services".
