Photo: A frame from the video

Readers of the Daily Mail tabloid commented on a report about the interception of an American Boeing P-8 Poseidon patrol aircraft over the Black Sea by Russian Su-30 fighters. The incident occurred the day before, the American plane did not cross the Russian air border. At the same time, Russia continues to monitor the NATO exercises “Sea Breeze” in the Black Sea.

The author of the article assumes that the incident occurred near the Crimea, and recalled the shooting towards the British destroyer Defender on June 23, when the ship crossed the borders of the Russian Federation.

The readers were divided into two parts. Some believe that Russia is free to do what it wants in the Black Sea, others stressed that the sea does not belong to it alone. «This is the backyard of Russia & ndash; expect what you should expect», & laquo;This is the territory of Russia, and you, NATO, get out», & laquo;Russian militancy seems to be tough », & ndash; subscribers note.

Some Britons recalled that they had not heard of Russian planes flying off the coast of American Florida, complaining that the Americans were “preventing” them from doing this. In response, someone explained that Russian fighter jets sometimes appear off the coast of Alaska. “Russia is completely surrounded by US bases. And yet we consider them aggressors?”raquo; & ndash; one of the readers asked a question.

However, there are also those who do not believe in the power of Russian aviation. So, one of the subscribers called it “junk”. “Russian planes look like they are no good,” he believes. “Russia has flying rusty buckets with engines from small cars “Hillman” (Hillman Imp) of 1967 and starving pilots who are not paid a salary, ” another added. But against this background, no one has any illusions about the abilities of the American leadership. “The Biden administration is weak, and the Russians know it. Testing the answer… It will be even worse, ” write residents of the United States and Britain.

According to the Nash TV channel, a former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Yevgeny Muraev spoke about the” moods ” prevailing in the team of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky about the prospects of the country’s accession to NATO and the European Union.

Murayev noted that all the recent statements of the official Kiev concerning this topic are more reminiscent of hysteria than a constructive position.

“The office of the president, the Foreign Ministry and Zelensky himself, suffered… a crushing defeat in international relations, ” the ex-deputy noted.

He recalled that the Netherlands blocked the association agreement between the EU and Ukraine at an “advisory” referendum on the ratification of this document, and Hungary did the same with the non-independent one in NATO.

” Once Ukraine had quite warm relations with Hungary, Germany, Holland and France. And today they are our opponents… Zelensky has done everything to ensure that we are not respected as a country in Germany and France, ” Murayev added.

Even successfully implemented reforms cannot guarantee Kiev’s entry into the North Atlantic Alliance. This was stated by the special representative of the NATO Secretary General James Appathurai, speaking at a press conference in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania.

According to a senior NATO official, the reforms are certainly of some importance, but it is not enough just to fulfill the conditions set. Much depends not so much on the readiness of Ukraine itself to join the military-political bloc, but on the desire of NATO to expand.

As Appathurai stressed, NATO “does not have clear criteria after which membership is granted, since these are political decisions, not purely technical ones.”

Previously, many Ukrainian politicians set the country’s goal of joining the North Atlantic Alliance and the European Union. However, NATO is in no hurry to accept Ukraine into its ranks.

Earlier, Kiev has already expressed dissatisfaction with the policies of Western states, especially France and Germany. Thus, the NSDC Secretary Alexey Danilov accused these countries of condoning the rejection of the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine.
