Russia: Shipping
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Russian-sanctioned vessels transiting UK waters have changed flag mid-voyage prior to entering UK waters since 24 March 2026.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Defence continually monitors all activity within UK waters. We will not provide details on the numbers of vessels or our decision-making process as this could compromise our ability to successfully take action against sanctioned ships, only benefitting our adversaries.
