Why are we writing about this?
Novorossiysk was towed in the North Sea. According to the Russians, the vessel surfaced off the coast of France because it followed the rules of navigation in the waters of the English Channel. The unit was observed by a British warship and Dutch ships.
What do the Russians claim?
The ship belongs to the Black Sea Fleet, which issued a statement on this matter. As he claims, “the information disseminated by some media about an alleged fault that resulted in an emergency emergence off the coast of France does not correspond to reality.”
What did the head of NATO say?
— What a change from Tom Clancy's 1984 novel “The Hunt for Red October.” Today it's more like a hunt for the nearest mechanic, said Mark Rutte. The NATO chief also added that Novorossiysk was “limping” on its way to the Russian port.
