Russia has scrambled military jets in response to an American navy destroyer
which, it has been reported in Russian media, was acting “aggressively” in the
Black Sea.
The Russian defence minister, speaking at a security summit in Singapore,
said US missile ships operating near Moscow’s territorial waters “pose a danger
to strategic stability” between the two countries.
State news service RIA Novosti quoted a military source as saying the USS
Ross was sighted heading straight for Russian waters after leaving the Romanian
port of Costanta on Saturday.
“The crew of the ship acted provocatively and aggressively, which concerned
the operators of monitoring stations and ships of the Black Sea Fleet,” RIA
reported.
“Scrambled Su-24 attack aircraft demonstrated a readiness to forcibly prevent
border violations and defend the interests of the country,” the source was
quoted as saying.
In a statement, the Pentagon’s spokeswoman Eileen Lainez confirmed the
incident but said that the USS Ross had been “well within international waters
at all times, performing routine operations”.
“The US Navy operates routinely in the Black Sea, in accordance with
international law," Lainez said, adding that the ship’s deployment to the region
had been publicly announced.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
