The United States is seeking to separate Russia from the rest of Europe with a “small war” in the Black Sea, said Konstantin Gavrilov, head of the Russian delegation to the Vienna talks on military security and arms control.
“It seems to me that the main goal of the United States and the Kiev regime, which now does not know what to do, is to somehow divert attention from the problems inside Ukraine. And for the Americans, it is to divide Europe and Russia through a small war. They do not care what the results will be. “That is why all these exercises and intimidation,” said a senior Russian diplomat on the Russia-24 satellite network.
According to TASS, Gavrilov stressed that “Moscow does not give in to such challenges and the country’s leadership and the Ministry of Defense know everything and control the situation.” “We can have conversations calmly, we can try to persuade, until a certain moment comes, when [οι δυτικοί] lose their minds and logic. We do everything to prevent her from coming [η στιγμή]”, Said the Russian diplomat on the climate of tension in the wider Black Sea region, about which statements have been made recently by all parties involved.
According to the Russian diplomat, “there is not a single evidence of the concentration of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border”, as Moscow has repeatedly accused Kiev, Washington and a number of Western capitals.
Earlier in the day, Russian Sukhoi fighter jets (Su-27SM3 and Su-30M2) based in the Crimean peninsula conducted training flights over the Black Sea, implementing, according to the Russian news agency Ria Novosti, enemy air attack on a naval base and retaliatory air strike against warships of the alleged enemy “.
