Andrei Kartapolov, head of the Duma Defense Committee, has said that sending a US flagship to the Black Sea is provocative in nature
He also said that despite this, Russia is always ready for any challenge and guarantees reliable protection of its borders.
“I believe that such actions as sending the flagship command ship Mount Whitney of the US Sixth Fleet to the Black Sea is blatantly provocative and clearly destructive. This is an additional destabilizing factor in the region. However, I would like to remind the West that Russia is always ready for any challenge, we can guarantee security and reliable protection of all its borders, and even more so in the Black Sea”, – Kartapolov said.
We shall remind you that earlier the US sent the flagship of the Sixth Fleet USS Mount Whitney to the Black Sea to conduct operations with NATO allies.
