Keir Starmer has called the firing of warning shots by a Russian warship at a British yacht sailing across the Channel on Tuesday ‘deeply concerning and reckless’. Russia’s defence ministry said the yacht was on a ‘dangerous course’ and several attempts were made to contact it – a claim disputed by the retired couple onboard the 40ft yacht.

  • This is a kind of accident or an instant waiting to happen.

  • Retired couple, I think on a day out, shots were fired.

  • And at that point, they certainly realised that they'd had a major problem.

  • Russia's really stepped up its presence over the last few months.

  • They have their transporters off.

  • And if you get too close, you know, they won't play nicely, certainly reckless behaviour.

  • Warning shots should be a sort of, you know, your last option.

  • But it comes at this time of kind of high intention between Britain and Russia.
