Russian frigate Soobrazitelny pushed Greenpeace protest boat away near Fehmarn during a protest against the Russian shadow fleet tanker Kira K.
A Russian naval frigate named Soobrazitelny forcibly pushed away a Greenpeace protest boat near Fehmarn in the Baltic Sea. Greenpeace was protesting against the presence of the Russian 'shadow fleet,' specifically targeting the tanker Kira K. The protest aimed to raise awareness about the risks posed by aging Russian tankers in German waters, which could cause environmental disasters if they leak. The German Coast Guard intervened during the incident. The action was accompanied by German Bundestag Defense Committee Chairman Thomas Röwekamp and included invitations to members of the Bundestag, the European Parliament, and media representatives.
Confidence: High
The deliberate forcible pushing away of a civilian protest boat by a Russian naval military vessel in a foreign maritime zone constitutes hostile aggressor activity and naval intimidation indicative of hybrid tactics.
