Britain said on Monday that it would not accept unlawful interference with innocent passage at sea, and that its navy would uphold international law, in a written statement to parliament following a warship confrontation with Russia.

"The Royal Navy will always uphold international law and will not accept unlawful interference with innocent passage," defence minister Ben Wallace said in the statement.
