Russia's secret submarine operation in British waters & does the Kremlin no longer fear Donald Trump?

Russia's secret submarine operation in British waters & does the Kremlin no longer fear Donald Trump?


Day 1,505.

Today, as Russian shadow fleet tankers steam through the English channel backed up by warships, The Telegraph’s acting defence editor Tom Cotterill, was also floating nearby to witness PM Sir Keir Starmer’s new shadow fleet policy in action. We report on Russia's secret submarine operation in British waters. Ukraine claims that it has put Russia's last remaining ferry in the Kerch Strait out of action, potentially isolating occupied Crimea. And we hear that Hungary has uncovered a massive Ukrainian money laundering operation just days ahead of the general election. Plus we hear from our resident Russia-watcher James Kilner, and ask: is Moscow’s jeering a sign that the Kremlin no longer fears Donald Trump?
