Russia–United Kingdom relations
Russia warns the United Kingdom that it will bomb British vessels if any further provocative action is taken by the British Royal Navy in the Black Sea. Russia had previously summoned the British ambassador to Russia over this week's incident. The UK says that the vessel was in Ukrainian waters, that it was entirely right to use the route, and that the Royal Navy will always uphold international law and will not accept unlawful interference with innocent passage.
