"During the passage, Vice Admiral Kulakov acted in a professional and safe manner," the words of the captain of the frigate HMS Westminster are quoted.
The British Navy also noted that they regularly monitor the passage of warships through the zone of interests of the United Kingdom as part of a permanent mission to ensure the country's defense.
Observation of the Russian ship was carried out using radar, surveillance cameras and sensors.
According to TASS, “Vice-Admiral Kulakov” left Severomorsk on June 13 and began the inter-naval transition to the Baltic Sea.
In October, the British Navy announced escort of a Baltic Fleet detachment consisting of the Yaroslav the Wise patrol ship, the Yelnya tanker, and the Victor Konetsky tugboat, which followed the English Channel along the British coast.
