More widely across Europe, we are seeing a pattern of flagrant maritime activity co-ordinated by Russia, so I applaud and welcome the fact that the Finnish authorities last week seized a Russian shadow vessel suspected of damaging a communications cable under the Gulf of Finland. We have also exposed the Russian spy ship ‘Yantar’, operating in our waters and surveying our undersea cables; and, of course, by assisting our US allies in taking this ship off the seas, we are protecting the British people and our nation.
