Cathy Newman was interviewing the Russian Ambassador
at the time of this dispute.
The Problem is the Waters are Disputed
UK says they are International waters
Russia says they are not.

From the BBC Film
the Stupid Young Commander (Lt.Com. Ben Dorrington)
admits he is in their Crimea waters.
I can see the Russian's Air Force
Sinking a ship like that
under their Water Laws.
That British Ship had no reason to go into their waters

It said on the news that although close to Crimea the ship was in a recognised shipping lane. Both sides were flexing a bit and prodding each other

Its no longer a shipping lane, though
if you are another Military
Russia objects to you being there.
The Russian Fighter Jets fly down low next to the UK intruding Ship.
If there is a Next time
I would expect it to get far worse
International waters Arista, perfectly legal.

International waters Arista, perfectly legal.
Disputed by Russia
means they now control that Zone.
It may sound Legal
but if you are an intruding Outside Nation Military
Russia will stop you.
there is no "it may sound legal" It is legal and its a botsHD FACT
