00:00It's deeply concerning and reckless. The MOD assessment is that the Russian vessel was drifting
00:10and out of control. That is deeply concerning. But it looks as if that is what it was rather
00:16than a hostile act. That's the MOD assessment. But is it deeply concerning? Yes, of course it is.
00:20Do I feel very strongly for the couple on the yacht who must have been terrified? Of course I do.
00:26But the MOD assessment is that that is what it was and we need to see it for what it
00:32is.
00:32But I mean it doesn't take away from your broader point, which is of course Russia's involved in a conflict
00:36in Ukraine
00:37where Russia is the aggressor in Europe and Russia is responsible for wider proxy attacks across Europe.
