UK’s Starmer says Russian warship’s warning shots in Channel ‘reckless’

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the warning shots fired by a Russian frigate at a UK-flagged civilian yacht near British territorial waters 'troublesome' and said it should not have happened. The Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich fired warning shots on Tuesday to avoid a presumed collision with the yacht Bright Future, about 20 nautical miles south of the Isle of Wight. Starmer described the incident as isolated and not linked to the seizure of a Russian shadow fleet tanker over the weekend. He spoke on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France, where leaders vowed to ramp up pressure on Russia.
