Last week the UK warned Russia to rein in its spy ship Yantar, which was heading to Irish waters. This piece shows how Ireland's neutrality has become a security liability, threatening its economy & unsettling its neighbours. By @jude_webber & me for @FT

Yantar is once again loitering near UK waters: for a full run-down on this Russian spy ship and the exploits of GUGI, Moscow's secretive underwater operations unit, see our piece from earlier this year: ft.com/content/0b3510…
Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧@DefenceHQ
The Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP this morning confirmed that a Russian spy ship – the Yantar – is on the edge of UK waters, north of Scotland, having entered the UK’s wider waters over the last few weeks. This is a vessel used for gathering intelligence and mapping undersea cables, dragging sensors behind it. The @RoyalNavy deployed frigate HMS Somerset, and the @RoyalAirForce deployed P-8 aircraft to track the vessel’s every move, during which the Yantar directed light lasers at our pilots. This is the second time this year that this Russian spy ship has deployed to UK waters. It is one of many Russian vessels designed to threaten our Critical Underwater Infrastructure. To Russia: We see you. We know what you are doing. And if Yantar travels South this week, our Forces are ready to act.

What has Russia's spy ship Yantar been doing in UK waters? @FT found the ship loitering over vital undersea cables between UK & Ireland and shows how Moscow's secret GUGI unit is working an agent of sabotage. With @xtophercook @dariamslv & David Djambazov

Obituary: Stella Rimington, head of British spy agency MI5, 1935-2025. A quote for the ages:
“It’s a relief to no longer feel responsible for the world . . . Being powerless brings a sense of lightness that’s rather pleasant.”

Excellent summary of the history and challenge of Fordow. I can remember the original analysis and then the run-up to exposing it; a huge moment for the UK’s intelligence community.

“In an interview with the Financial Times three years ago — in which she was quoted under the pseudonym Ada to protect her identity — Metreweli revealed that even in childhood, being a spy was the only job she had ever wanted.”

The FT conducted extensive interviews with Metreweli and her senior female SIS colleagues for this piece three years ago on the top women spies at MI6. To protect her identity, Metreweli chose the pseudonym 'Ada' for the story
