英国军方周四表示，英国与挪威军方牵头开展了为期数周的行动，以威慑北大西洋地区被怀疑从事“恶意活动”的俄罗斯潜艇。
英国国防大臣约翰·希利表示，一艘护卫舰、多架战机以及数百名人员在英国以北的海底基础设施附近监视了一艘俄罗斯攻击型核潜艇和两艘间谍潜艇。他表示，在这场持续一个多月的行动结束后，俄罗斯舰艇最终驶离了该区域。
希利表示，他想向俄罗斯传递的信息是：“我们监测到你们在我们的海底电缆和输油管道附近的活动，任何破坏这些设施的企图都不会被容忍，必将带来严重后果。”
挪威国防与外交部及其武装部队的代表并未立即回应置评请求。
尽管全球注意力都集中在中东冲突上，英国官员仍试图让俄罗斯持续处于国际聚光灯下。他们还强调了中东冲突与乌克兰冲突之间的关联，称俄罗斯向伊朗提供了无人机零部件及其他支持。
希利在新闻发布会上表示：“普京想必希望我们因中东局势分心”，但俄罗斯仍是英国及其盟友面临的主要威胁。
“我们不会将目光从普京身上移开，”他说道。
2026年4月9日，英国国防大臣约翰·希利在伦敦市中心就英国近期的行动发表声明。
英国政府去年年底宣布，作为两国防务协议的一部分，英国与挪威已组建“猎杀俄罗斯潜艇”的同盟，以保护北大西洋的通信线路。
英国去年12月表示，该协议的核心是组建一支新的联合反潜舰队——这一举措是对过去两年英国水域内俄罗斯舰艇活动增加30%作出的回应。这支舰队包括8艘英国舰艇和至少5艘挪威舰艇。
希利曾表示，该协议将使两国能够“以一体姿态在北大西洋巡逻，在北极开展联合训练，并研发先进装备，以保障当前及未来我国公民的安全”。
今年3月下旬，英国表示其军方已准备好扣押涉嫌参与俄罗斯“影子船队”的船只——这些船只违反了针对莫斯科乌克兰战争的国际制裁，暗中运输石油。此前，英国仅协助法国和美国在登船检查前对船只进行监视。
“我们已准备好对这些船只采取行动，”希利说道。

Military operation conducted to deter Russian submarines suspected of “malign activity” in North Atlantic

British and Norwegian militaries led a weekslong operation to deter Russian submarines suspected of “malign activity” in the North Atlantic, the U.K. military said Thursday.
Defense Secretary John Healey said a frigate, planes and hundreds of personnel monitored a Russian attack sub and two spy submarines near undersea infrastructure north of the U.K. He said the Russian vessels eventually left after the operation that lasted more than a month.
Healey said his message to Russia was “we see your activity over our cables and our pipelines and you should know that any attempt to damage them will not be tolerated and will have serious consequences.”
Representatives of Norway’s defense and foreign ministries, as well as its armed forces, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
British officials have tried to keep Russia in the international spotlight even as the world’s attention is focused on conflict in the Middle East. They have also stressed the overlap between conflicts there and in Ukraine, saying Russia has supplied Iran with drone parts and other support.
Healey told a news conference that “Putin would want us to be distracted by the Middle East,” but Russia is the main threat to the U.K. and its allies.
“We will not take our eyes off Putin,” he said.

The U.K. government announced late last year that it and Norway had formed an alliance to “hunt Russian submarines” and protect communication lines in the North Atlantic as part of a defense agreement between the two countries.
Central to the deal is a new joint fleet of anti-submarine warships — in response to a 30% increase in the presence of Russian ships in U.K. waters over the last two years, the U.K. said in December. The fleet includes eight British vessels and at least five Norwegian vessels.
Healey had said the pact would enable the two countries to “patrol the North Atlantic as one, train together in the Arctic, and develop the advanced equipment that will keep our citizens safe now and into the future.”
In late March, the U.K. said its military was ready to seize ships suspected of being part of Russia’s “shadow fleet” of vessels shipping oil in violation of international sanctions over Moscow’s war on Ukraine. Previously, Britain had only helped France and the U.S. monitor ships before they were boarded.
“We are ready to take action” against the vessels, Healey said.
