Russia Fires Warning Shots At British Destroyer - Britian Denies - Russia Releases Video

Video released by the Russian navy shows, according to Russia, a Russian coast guard ship firing warning shots at the British navy destroyer HMS Defender off Crimea’s coast. According to Russia the Russian navy fired several warning shots at the British destroyer and a number of Russian fighter jets droped bombs on the ships path as it was violating Russias border. The UK on its side denied the fact that shots were fired and says the ship only was sailing from Odessa in southern Ukraine to Georgia while passing south of the Crimea peninsula which is claimed by Russia but has not been recognised internationally.
