MP calls for tighter security at ports

TORBAY’S MP has called for a review of security after it was reported that a Russian spy had come ashore from a ship in Torquay on a mission to snoop on Ukrainian soldiers.

Yesterday’s i Paper carried an exclusive report on Russian espionage in which it said it had evidence that two Russian spies ‘slipped into Britain’ on board cargo ships.

One landed at Middlesbrough to observe sites that provide ground and aviation fuels for the UK. The other ‘suspected spy’ came ashore - legally - from a Finnish cargo vessel in Torquay, according to the newspaper.

Once ashore, he travelled to Dorset to an area near Lulworth Cove where British forces have been preparing Ukrainian soldiers to fight in the war against Russia.
