At a bus stop, a passerby discovered secret documents about the passage of a destroyer near Crimea: reaction of the UK Ministry of Defense

There was a leak of documents related to the incident off the Crimean peninsula.

We are talking about a situation that occurred on June 23, when the British destroyer Defender tried to violate the Russian border in the Black Sea.

The documents, partially published by the British media, say why the ship’s crew took this step.

It turned out that this was done to “support Ukraine.”

How the documents were discovered

It is noted that the papers were found by an ordinary passerby. He discovered the documents at a bus stop in the English county of Ken.

The find was handed over to representatives of the British media by a person whose identity has not been disclosed.

It turned out that the documents (printouts of letters and presentations) belonged to an employee of the British Ministry of Defense. A representative of the military department left or forgot papers at the boarding area for public transport passengers.

The discovered documents indicate that the activity of the destroyer Defender is associated with Operation Op Ditroite.

The purpose of entering the territorial waters of the Russian Federation was to provide support to Ukraine in the issue related to the ownership of the Crimean peninsula.

Comment from the UK Ministry of Defense

The department noted that an investigation into the incident will be carried out.

Experts will examine the circumstances surrounding the loss of documents.

It is noted that an employee of the Ministry of Defense reported about the incident a week ago.

Representatives of the department said that ensuring security is an extremely important area for them. That is why an investigation into the incident has already begun.
