The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on the incident with the destroyer Defender of the British Navy, which crossed the state border of Russia in the area of Cape Fiolent, expressed confidence that such maneuvers could not be carried out without the knowledge of the United States.
Zakharova recalled that the destroyer was in the northwestern part of the Black Sea water area in preparation for the Sea Breeze exercises conducted under the command of the United States.
“The press services of the White House and the Pentagon recommended that the media address questions about the incident involving the British “pleasure” destroyer to the British authorities… Why is that so?… At the time of the incident, the special forces of the United States, Britain and Ukraine were conducting training events on the ship. In such conditions, the “peaceful passage” of the British destroyer could not but be coordinated with the “big brother”, the diplomat is sure.
