Moscow Sends Warship Through English Channel - Putin Warns Students Living in Britain: 'Come Home Immediately'
RUSSIAN frigate Yaroslav Mudry was closely watched by HMS St Albans as it made its way through the English Channel and Dover Strait as tensions between the UK and Russia continue to simmer.
Yaroslav Mudry measures 129m long and is complete with anti-ship missiles, guns and torpedoes.
But HMS St Albans, a Portsmouth-based Type 23 frigate, wasn’t far away, having been activated earlier this week and was keeping a close eye on the Russian warship.
The frigate is the Royal Navy’s very high readiness ship, charged with guarding UK waters.
The vessel is equipped with a Merlin helicopter from Culdrose-based 829 Naval Air Squadron and state-of-the-art radar.
Commander John Cromie, the Commanding Officer of HMS St Albans, said: “As the Royal Navy’s high readiness unit in UK waters, we are the first responders to any potential incursion into UK waters and are highly trained in this role.
“Our activation today in response to the passage of a Russian warship close to the UK resulted in a cordial interaction between professional sailors based on the recognised conventions at sea.
“We are always standing ready, as is the rest of the fleet, to defend UK waters and UK sovereignty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.”

Facing the “noticeable negative impact of Russophobic attitudes,” Russian authorities have launched a campaign aimed at bringing home young people studying in the UK and other Western countries.
As The Express reports, Olga Evko – a representative of Rossotrudnichestvo, the Federal Agency for the Commonwealth of Independent States, Compatriots Living Abroad and International Humanitarian Cooperation – is behind Moscow’s “It’s time to go home” returnee scheme:
“The question for our youngsters studying abroad is very serious indeed.
“We have real grounds to worry that young Russians may suffer in provocations in countries that show an unfriendly attitude to (us).”
And guess where those overseas students can go when they get back to mother Russia?
Oleg Mansurov, of PreActum entrepreneurial community, told a Moscow conference on the plan that those with education and work experience in Britain “will be ready to take part in ambitious projects and move again, including to the Far East of Russia”.
Yes, Siberia!
Vladimir Putin is seeking to radically boost the economy of eastern Siberia and Russia’s Pacific rim to counter the negative impact of Western sanctions by expanding gas and oil production, gold and diamond mining, as well as nuclear energy and the digital economy.
