Moscow-Sana
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov described the activity of US ships in the Black Sea as playing with fire and an attempt to test Russia's strength.
During an interview with journalists today, reported by Sputnik agency, Ryabkov asked what the American ships are doing in the Black Sea, thousands of miles from their bases, noting that “saying that this is all for the sake of freedom of navigation does not deceive anyone because he is playing with fire and another attempt to test our strength.”
He expressed his country's concern about the situation in the Black Sea and the provocations carried out by the United States and NATO in this region.
The Russian army announced yesterday that it is constantly monitoring US movements in the Black Sea region and taking appropriate measures.
