American ships will continue to be in the Black sea.
U.S. concerned that Russia illegally annexed the Crimea, so the American ships will continue to be in the Black sea. This was told at a briefing in honor of the opening naval exercises “sea breeze-2017,” head of the USA, captain 1-rank of the Tate Westbrook.
He noted that the military presence of NATO in the black sea region will be strengthened in connection with the Russian aggression.
“We were all surprised that a country that declares itself as a world power, in violation of international law, illegally annexed Crimea. Since then, since the annexation of the Peninsula, there is increased presence in the Black sea ships, including ships of my squadron. And we will stay here and support our partners,” said Westbrooke.
According to him, the U.S. is concerned about Russia’s behavior in relation to its neighbors, but continue to persuade her to negotiate.
“The actions of the Russian Federation does not weaken NATO and partners, and made us stronger. Of course we encourage Russia to sit at the international negotiating table, but until that moment, when that happens, we will be prepared, and be prepared for a potential conflict,” said Westbrooke.
