A Russian Navy landing ship, the Alexander Shabalin, recently anchored near Lübeck Bay, close to the German coast, creating obstacles on the commercial route through the Fehmarn Belt, which connects the Baltic Sea to the North Sea.

The vessel is positioned in a way that interferes with maritime traffic in the area, which is heavily used by cargo ships.

The ship’s presence has been closely monitored by naval units from Germany and Denmark, including the German patrol boat Bamberg and a Danish vessel, reinforced by the support ship Werra, sent by the German Navy. Authorities emphasize that the Alexander Shabalin remains in international waters and therefore has not committed any legal violations.

Nevertheless, the movement of the Russian ship is causing concern among authorities and local workers. Researchers and fishermen have already had to change their routes to avoid the area. The incident is also linked to a recent drone-related case in Denmark, when the same ship was sailing with its identification system turned off.

Experts believe this operation may be related to reconnaissance activities or possible hybrid initiatives in the Baltic Sea.
