HMS DEFENDER CRIMEA DETAILS ; SECRET DEFENCE DOCUMENTS FOUND AT BUS STOP

  • 27/06/2021

UK Ministry of Defence documents for 'UK Secret Eyes Only' have been recovered from a soggy heap behind a bus stop.Around 50 pages in all, these documents reveal that the HMS Defender ship's passage through Ukrainian waters was well planned and all aspects were evaluated. The documents detail "likely Russian reaction if HMS Defender passes through Crimea coast".When the warship HMS Defender sailed about 12 miles (19km) off Crimea's coast on Wednesday, it met with strong opposition from Russia. More than 20 Russian aircraft and two coastguards ships shadowed the warship.Some of the papers found behind the bus stop also detail plans for a possible UK military presence in Afghanistan after the US-led Nato operation there ends. According reports, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said an employee reported the loss of the documents last week.

A member of the public, who wishes to remain anonymous, found the 50-odd pages of documents and contacted the BBC when he realised the sensitive nature of the contents. The BBC believes the documents, which include emails and PowerPoint presentations, originated in the office of a senior official at the MoD.Due to the sensitivity of the document, the BBC said it has decided not to report details which could endanger the security of British and other personnel in Afghanistan.
