  • Recently, NATO's Allied Maritime Command reported that the Russian submarine Novorossiysk surfaced off the coast of France.
  • The Dutch Ministry of Defence stated that Dutch forces had escorted the Novorossiysk and the tugboat Yakov Grebelsky in the North Sea, which suggests that the submarine was being towed.
  • On 13 October, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte mocked Russia over the malfunction of its Novorossiysk submarine.
