The Times assessed the incident with the British destroyer Defender, which invaded the territorial waters of Russia. They released a material about the ship, in which they blamed Russia for the incident.
Western journalists believe that what is happening was a warning for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Journalists note that during the incident, the Russian ship fired warning shots “at the bow of the British destroyer”, and the Russian Su-24 military aircraft dropped bombs on the course of its movement. The West concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin is still seeking to escalate tensions in relations with NATO.
They called the very actions of the British ship ” protection of freedom” waterways. The destroyer decided to pass through the Black Sea, since the UK does not consider Crimea to be part of Russia. At the same time, it is from the Black Sea, according to journalists, that a new war can begin.
Earlier, BBC journalist Jonathan Beale reported that the British destroyer Defender specifically violated the Russian borders near the Crimea. At the same time, representatives of the British Embassy and the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom denied this.
On Wednesday, a Russian patrol ship opened warning fire, and a Russian Su-24M bomber dropped several bombs near the ship to warn it. Before that, the border services contacted the crew of the ship and reported on the approach to the Russian border.
