Stay away from our coast, Russia warns US warship in Black Sea
[PRESSTV] Russia has warned the American destroyer USS Donald Cook deployed in the Black Sea against approaching Russian coasts, stressing that Moscow is closely watching and monitoring the warship’s actions.Visits to the Black Sea by US warships have nothing to do with US security and are motivated by domestic politics, said Russian senator Alexei Pushkov on Sunday. "US warships are becoming frequent visitors to the Black Sea. These visits have nothing to do with US security," Pushkov, a member of Russia’s Upper House Commission on Information Policy, wrote on his Twitter page. "They flaunt their flag, send us a signal, and appease their own senators, who are demanding they send a whole military fleet to the Black Sea. They should keep away from our coastline," he warned. The US guided-missile destroyer Donald Cook began moving towards the Black Sea on Saturday, less than two weeks after another US Navy vessel was deployed there. Posted by: Fred 2019-01-21 |
