11.11.2021, Moscow.

Exercises of the United States and its allies in the Black Sea pose a security threat, the Russian Defense Ministry wrote on November 11.

“Conducting this unscheduled exercise near our borders is aggressive actions by the United States, which was not provoked by Russia in any way, and this poses a threat to regional security and strategic stability,” the ministry’s statement reads.

The Ministry of Defense assessed the actions of the United States and its allies as a study of the theater of military operations for the case if Ukraine goes for a military solution to the confrontation in Donbas.

NATO reconnaissance planes increased their activity near Russia’s borders. The Porter destroyer with guided-missile weapons, the John Lenthall tanker, and Mount Whitney command ship of the US Navy are currently in the Black Sea.

The Russian Foreign Ministry considered the NATO exercises in the Black Sea as a part of the policy of containment of Russia.
