Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has accused Britain's Special Boat Service of operating in Ukraine and aiding Ukrainian forces in attempted operations against Russian forces, specifically mentioning the Tendrovskaya Spit incident. The FSB's statement was corroborated by the capture and subsequent publication of a Ukrainian soldier, Gorin, who claimed British training for such missions. Concurrently, the UK's support for Ukraine extends to naval assistance, with the arrival of two former Royal Navy minehunters, HMS Grimsby and HMS Shoreham, now renamed Cherkasy and Chernihiv, in Portsmouth, from Scotland. These Sandown class warships, transferred earlier this year to the Ukrainian Navy, are set to participate in international maritime exercises. The transfer and the ships' arrival have been publicly acknowledged by UK defense and naval officials, including Stephen Morgan MP, highlighting the UK's ongoing commitment to supporting Ukraine's military capabilities, operating from their new temporary home at @HMNBPortsmouth.
