Two suspected Russian spies are believed to have secretly entered the UK<\/a> on cargo ships before traveling to locations close to key military bases and critical government infrastructure, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The i Paper<\/a> claimed the two men arrived in the UK during the spring and summer of 2025, using ports at Torquay, Middlesbrough and Grangemouth, in the north-east.<\/p>\n

A UK defense source also suggested the men were linked to President Vladimir Putin\u2019s military and intelligence networks.<\/p>\n

The pair are alleged to have accessed the country covertly by exploiting commercial shipping routes<\/a> rather than passing through heavily monitored border entry points.<\/p>\n

The ships they used were reportedly neither Russian-flagged nor part of the sanctioned shadow fleet associated with the Kremlin, making them far less likely to attract scrutiny.<\/p>\n

A senior NATO official responsible for protecting Europe\u2019s maritime waters told the outlet that intelligence agencies<\/a> had detected Russian operatives traveling on non-suspicious cargo vessels.<\/p>\n

The official said those type of ships offer an ideal way of moving personnel discreetly.<\/p>\n

“It would be the most natural place to move people around in that world, and we think it\u2019s going on,” the source said.<\/p>\n

“They are not sailing on shadow fleet tankers, they are sailing on all [types of] ships,” the source claimed, adding that Russian agents had monitored and “tested European ports<\/a> to find weaknesses.”<\/p>\n

One of the suspected operatives is reported to have entered the UK through Torquay in the South West after traveling from Finland.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The second, previously seen in Moscow at an intelligence-linked facility, was suspected of traveling from Kaliningrad and entering via Middlesbrough and Grangemouth.<\/p>\n

After spending time around the storage facility at Grangemouth, the second operative also traveled to Falkirk, where they visited a retail park.<\/p>\n

Both British docks were recently proposed by the Ministry of Defense (MoD) as potential sites for future UK weapons factories.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They are currently unused brownfield locations, increasing concerns over the security implications of the alleged visits.<\/p>\n

Elisabeth Braw of the Intelligence Council and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council told the i Paper that it makes sense for Russian intelligence to exploit these weaknesses.<\/p>\n

“It doesn\u2019t surprise me that Russia wants to bring certain people into the country even though they can reach people who are already there,” she said.<\/p>\n

“They need their own operatives to conduct this sort of activity,” Braw added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
