Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 November 2025

Debate

Russian Ship “Yantar”

Contribution

Russia does not want us to know what it is doing or what the ‘Yantar’ is up to; it does not want the world to know what it is doing. But we will not be deterred; we will not let the ‘Yantar’ go unchallenged as it attempts to survey our infrastructure. We will work with our allies to ensure that Russia knows that any attempt to disrupt or damage underwater infrastructure will be met with the firmest of responses. I finish by saying a great thank you to the brave men and women of our Royal Navy and RAF who continue to keep us safe at home and abroad”.
