Moscow-Sana
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced today that the anti-submarine ship Admiral Vinogradov prevented the USS John McCain from violating Russia's borders and forced it to change course.
Sputnik quoted the ministry as saying in a statement that the Russian Pacific Fleet issued several warnings to the US destroyer after it violated Russia's borders and maritime space in the Gulf of Peter and demanded it to change its course immediately and exit from Russian territorial waters before taking other measures.
The statement indicated that after the US side received Russian warnings, the destroyer John McCain immediately changed its course and headed to neutral waters.
Moscow .. The Russian fleet monitors the American moves in the Black Sea
The National Center for Defense Administration in Russia announced that the Black Sea Fleet was monitoring the movements of the American destroyer Donald Cook, which entered the waters of the Black Sea.
"The forces and means of the Black Sea Fleet began monitoring the movements of the American destroyer Donald Cook, which entered the Black Sea yesterday," a statement by the Russian Defense Ministry said.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly indicated that the military presence of ships from powers outside the Black Sea region does not contribute to enhancing stability there.
While the United States claims that it is working within the framework of the "Montreux" agreement that regulates the passage of warships through the Bosporus and the Dardanelles, the ministry confirmed that the time spent by ships of non-Black Sea countries at sea according to the agreement is limited to 21 days only.
