Russia accused of "irresponsible behavior" in the Black Sea
Washington accuses Russia of acting irresponsibly over the Black Sea and calls for an end to its unsatisfying behavior. This was stated by the official representative of the US State Department, Heather Nauert, commenting on the incident with the interception by the Russians of an American reconnaissance aircraft.
- wrote Nauert on her page on the social network Twitter.
Earlier, a message was posted on the website of the US Navy that Russia posed a threat to US troops. The incident over the Black Sea occurred on November 5. The Russian Ministry of Defense, commenting on what happened, said that on that day a certain unidentified object was detected above the sea, which later turned out to be an American reconnaissance aircraft EP-3 Aries. As a result, the Su-27 fighter was lifted into the air. According to the Russian defense department, the fighter’s crew acted without threatening the US military. However, Washington claims that the maneuver of the Russian aircraft was too fast, and the Americans experienced turbulence.
The accusations from Nauert are categorically denied by the Russian Foreign Ministry. Thus, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that military professionals are acting as expected, and the United States should not escalate the situation and use this or that incident to political speculation. He asked the question: what are American planes doing near the border with Russia?
- stressed the diplomat.
Russia acted recklessly in international airspace over the Black Sea. We urge Russia to stop unsafe, irresponsible and aggressive behavior

US military and politicians who issue orders for provocative actions in close proximity to Russian borders are playing with fire
