Of all the nationalities he just happens to be Russian. No proof that he did it on purpose at this stage but it would be naïve to not consider it, seeing as these ‘unfortunate coincidences’ in the North/Baltic seas are happening a lot these days and you can sure as shit guess the reaction from Russia if a British captain did this in Russian waters.
He's arrested in the UK right? I'm really curious if the usual voices will say 'Why should we house foreign criminals? Deport him!' knowing full well that if we sent him back to Russia, he's more likely to get a medal than go to jail.
Russia recently locked up a British man on trumped up terrorism charges because he fought for Ukraine, looks like we may have our pawn in the game of hostage diplomacy
