The DM do mention 'meet & greet' in their article, and also say.. "It is not unusual for Russian warships to pass through the Channel - the same group went through in the opposite direction in December.
At no point have the ships entered the UK's territorial waters - which extend 12 nautical miles from the coast of the country. However, according to a UN treaty on sea passage, there is no reason military vessels should not be allowed through so long as they do not threaten the peace or security of a country."
