The Royal Navy is closely shadowing the Russian spy ship Yantar as it moves through the English Channel.
Seen here, the Yantar is flanked by the frigate HMS Somerset, guarding against what the UK calls "the growing Russian threat to offshore infrastructure in European seas."

Finally had some time to dig into the subsea cable cuts in the Baltic Sea that have gotten a lot of attention lately.
Due to the rich fabric of connectivity in the region, the loss of the two cables caused minimal disruption.
However, here are some subtle BGP impacts I was able to identify. 🧵
