The Russian admiral commented on the entry of the Pereyaslav Naval Forces into the training zone of the Russian Black Sea Fleet
In Russia, it is noted that the Ukrainian ship really had such a right, but only in reality the appearance of a foreign ship in the zone of military maneuvers in any case poses a danger primarily to him.
NSN quotes the words of the ex-commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Igor Kasatonov. The Russian admiral noted that this was a dangerous undertaking. Igor Kasatonov said that, in fact, the approach to the training zone of foreign naval forces is “an allowable norm,” and added:
It is worth noting that the case of the Ukrainian ship resembles another provocation from the Ukrainian state. One gets the impression that the authorities of Ukraine and the military command of this country are doing everything so that the Russian Navy at one point sends one or another Ukrainian ship carrying out a provocation to the bottom so that, as with the case in the area of the Kerch Strait, then try use it for your own purposes.
It also cannot be ruled out that the installation for the appearance in the zone of the Black Sea Fleet exercises “Pereyaslav” did not even receive from his own command (Navy), but from representatives of NATO forces, with whom he held exercises in Georgia.
