Ukraine's former Royal Navy minehunters dock at new temporary home in Portsmouth
1,117Two former Royal Navy vessels turned Ukrainian minehunters have docked in Portsmouth for the first time since the beginning of the conflict with Russia.

Before decommissioning, the vessels were known as HMS Shoreham and HMS Grimsby, but today they are two of Ukraine's first minesweepers.
