Specialists tracking this in real time now have harder numbers than "a close pass." Orbital Radar's latest computation puts the closest approach at roughly 26 meters, with earlier passes logged at 136 meters and 578 meters as Kosmos 2612 tightened its formation over multiple orbits, each pass occurring at essentially zero relative velocity, meaning the Russian satellite wasn't drifting past ICEYE-X36, it was flying in matched formation with it

In May, five Russian satellites encircled a commercial imaging satellite. This week, one of them – Cosmos 2612 – is maneuvering to get even closer. It will make its closest pass within the next 24 hours. (Source: AdamCohen8 for the visualization) This is significant. Russia appears to be targeting a *commercial* satellite providing imaging services to Ukraine: starting approximately two weeks ago, Russia began maneuvering five of its classified satellites to the same orbital inclination as the ICEYE satellite.
