According to inkorr.com: The military of the Netherlands is closely monitoring the movements of Russian vessels in the North Sea after one of the Russian submarines approached the territorial waters of Holland.

Actions of the Dutch military

According to the Dutch Ministry of Defense, the Russian ships 'Novosibirsk' and 'Yakob Grebelyansky' passed through from the Mediterranean Sea. Initially, they were escorted by a military ship of the United Kingdom in the English Channel, and then a Dutch frigate along with a helicopter took control of them.

Protection of national interests

The Netherlands escorts all Russian military vessels passing through their economic zone, although international norms allow for peaceful passage. The Ministry of Defense emphasized that these actions aim to protect underwater infrastructure from potential threats.

The agency noted that this not only demonstrates unwavering attention to the situation, but also readiness to prevent any attempts to destabilize this region.

End control over Russian military ships in the North Sea underscores the seriousness of the situation and the necessity to protect national interests within its economic zone. The Netherlands is actively taking measures to ensure safety in open waters.
