A Russian submarine had to travel on the surface of the water near France. Some people said the submarine had problems and needed help. Russia said the submarine was fine and only followed the rules for boats in the area.

Nato and the UK watched the Russian submarine as it moved through the water. The UK navy followed the submarine for three days. The Dutch navy also helped watch the submarine and its support boat.

Nato leader Mark Rutte made a joke about the Russian submarine. He said the submarine looked like it needed a mechanic. He also said there are not many Russian navy ships left in the Mediterranean Sea.
