The Russian Navy corvette Soobrazitelny 531 intervened in the Baltic Sea waters between Denmark and Germany to prevent German media, politicians, and possibly the German Coast Guard from approaching a shadow tanker. A Greenpeace protest was ongoing during the incident, where the Russian corvette approached at high speed and initially did not respond to radio communications from the German Coast Guard. Subsequently, the German Coast Guard escorted the activists, politicians, and media away. The intervention effectively interrupted western democratic protest activities in these waters near Kaliningrad.
