Today, June 23, 2021, an incident involving a British ship occurred in the Black Sea near Crimea.
It is reported that the destroyer Defender violated the Russian border near Cape Fiolent. The violation was stopped by the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
About this MIA “Russia Today” with reference to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
According to the department, the destroyer did not respond to a warning about the use of weapons.
After this, the Russian patrol ship opened warning fire.
A few minutes later, the Su-24m aircraft dropped four bombs along the destroyer’s course.
It is also noted that after the incident, the attaché at the British Embassy was called to the Ministry of Defense.
Member of the Federation Council Alexei Pushkov wrote in his Telegram channel that Great Britain “lies in other seas,” so its ship did not solve the task of protecting the United Kingdom, which, according to the senator, has long been no longer the “queen of the seas.”
He believes that the British ship staged a provocation, finding out how Russia would react to the incident.
Thus, the destroyer “created the basis for a new international scandal and a new attack of anti-Russian hysteria,” Pushkov noted.
