Russia: NATO sends 3 military ships into the Black Sea
(Baonghean.vn) - The Russian Defense Management Center said that NATO military ships have entered the Black Sea. The group of ships includes a Greek Navy supply base ship, a Spanish Navy minesweeper, and an Italian Navy ship. In response to this development, the Russian Black Sea Fleet is closely monitoring the activities of these military ships.

This is not the first time that military vessels from other countries have appeared in the Black Sea. At the end of June, the US Navy destroyer Porter also entered the area and was immediately controlled by the forces of the Black Sea Fleet. A week earlier, Black Sea Fleet fighter jets were scrambled to intercept a US reconnaissance aircraft.
For its part, Russia believes that NATO military ships approaching Russia's Black Sea border, in the Crimea region, will not be able to spy because they will be intercepted by Russia's electronic warfare system.
"We are not fighting NATO, but we will not ignore attempts to penetrate the Black Sea communications network. NATO military ships should clearly understand that approaching the Crimean coast to conduct intelligence operations will not be a "walk in the park" - Dmitry Belik, Deputy Chairman of the Sevastopol Duma, affirmed.
