Conflict between Russia and Ukraine
The Ukraine war refers to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. However, tensions between the two countries date back to 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea and supported separatist movements in eastern Ukraine including Donetsk and Luhansk.
Russian Oligarch Spy Yachts Feared Involved in Plot to Black Out Britain with Undersea Cable Sabotage
- Tuesday, 08 April 2025
Russian oligarch-owned superyachts are believed by defence sources to have been involved in covert maritime operations around the British Isles prior to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. These vessels, which carry mini-submarines and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), were likely used for reconnaissance purposes to scout undersea cables that connect Britain to other countries. The suspected involvement of these superyachts adds to concerns over Russia's ability to disrupt vital energy pipelines, electrical cables, and offshore energy hubs that are critical to Britain's functioning.
