Russian Warship Escorted Arms Shipment Through English Channel

A heavily armed Russian warship was spotted escorting a sanctioned cargo vessel through the English Channel, raising concerns among Western military forces. The warship, identified as the Boikiy naval corvette, was seen with sailors manning machine guns as it accompanied the Baltic Leader, a cargo ship reportedly carrying weapons. The Royal Navy deployed a frigate to monitor the movement, as tensions surrounding Russia’s military actions continue to escalate. This development comes amid increasing scrutiny of Russia’s arms shipments, particularly in relation to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Western nations are closely watching Moscow’s military maneuvers in strategic waterways.
