The UK has reported that it has observed a Russian spy ship in UK waters for two days and is tightening its position on a secret operation conducted by Russian vessels to protect underwater cables. According to information from Reuters, the Russian embassy in London stated that Russia is not a threat to the underwater cables of the UK and other NATO countries after the British defense minister, John Healey, accused Moscow of "malicious activity" at sea. The Russian embassy in the UK stated that the accusations are unfounded, adding: "Russia never posed such threats."
