Patrushev accuses UK, EU of planning Baltic Sea blockade against Russia

Russian Security Council official Nikolai Patrushev claimed during talks in China that London and Brussels are developing plans to blockade the Baltic Sea and its straits, including intercepting Russian ships. This is an unverified allegation from a senior Russian official, likely aimed at justifying increased Russian naval activity and deterrence. The claim escalates rhetoric around Baltic security but lacks independent corroboration.
