Zakharova sez Brits are lying
Direct Translation. Edited. [REGNUM] The British Defense Department, British journalists and the British Embassy have made conflicting statements, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on June 23 , responding to London's claims about the "inaccurate" description of the incident with the British destroyer Defender in the Black Sea. In her Telegram channel, Zakharova compared the statements of London and the messages of the British media. News # 1: The British Department of Defense has described reports of warning shots at its ship entering Crimea's territorial waters as "Russian disinformation." News # 2: A BBC journalist aboard a British vessel confirmed that the ship deliberately entered Russian territorial waters. He also noted that "about 20" Russian planes flew over the ship and that he heard warning shots. "
"Who is lying: the British Ministry of Defense, the British journalist of the BBC TV channel, or the British embassy in Moscow?" , Maria Zakharova wrote. As reported by IA REGNUM , the British Navy destroyer URO "Defender" crossed the state border of the Russian Federation in the Black Sea and entered the territorial waters of the Russian Federation in the area of the Crimean Cape Fiolent for three kilometers. Russian border guards opened warning fire on the ship's course, and the Su-24 bomber made a demonstrative drop of bombs. After that, the British destroyer relieved the Russian territorial waters of its presence. Posted by: badanov 2021-06-24 |
