俄羅斯國營媒體人士弗拉基米爾・索洛維約夫(Vladimir Solovyov)與瑪格麗塔・西蒙尼揚(Margarita Simonyan)於俄羅斯國營電視發表聲明,威脅要摧毀倫敦、柏林與哥本哈根,據 2026 年 5 月 26 日的報導。西蒙尼揚是受國家控制的網路 RT 的負責人,她警告稱:「升級是不可避免的。」這些聲明正值俄羅斯海軍在英國水域附近的活動增多,包括出現 4,035 噸、配備巡航飛彈的護衛艦 RFN Admiral Grigorovich,以及一艘 122 公尺的支援工廠船。
Russian State Media Statements
During the broadcast, Solovyov stated: "I will tell you honestly, I love Europe a lot, I love America, but for me there is no choice: who needs the world if Russia isn't in it?" He further claimed that Russia has no intention of capturing European territories, only destroying them, saying: "The way the current war is, we won't take Berlin, but we might destroy it. It's pointless to take it. Western military experts understand it well that neither Berlin, London, or Copenhagen, are capable of defending themselves."
Russian Naval Vessels Near British Waters
The two Russian naval vessels have been tracked approaching British waters three times over the preceding two months, according to reporting from the i newspaper. The vessels were recently positioned near the Galloper wind farm off the coast of Suffolk and have been closely shadowed by the Royal Navy. The RFN Admiral Grigorovich is a frigate equipped with cruise missiles, while the second vessel is a 122-metre support workshop vessel.
英國政府回應
首相基爾・斯塔默(Keir Starmer)證實,英國特種部隊已獲授權攔截並登臨在英國水域航行的、屬於俄羅斯「影子艦隊」的船隻。俄羅斯「影子艦隊」由超過 1,000 艘老化、維護狀況不佳的油輪組成,這些油輪在各種不同的外國旗幟下運作,用以將石油與資源從俄羅斯運出,藉此繞過俄羅斯在全面入侵烏克蘭後施加的經濟制裁。
