This is stated in the text of the statement by the representative of the US Pacific Fleet, Rachel McMarr.
“McCampbell went around Peter the Great Bay to challenge Russia's excessive maritime claims and support the rights, freedoms and legal use of the sea, which is at the disposal of the United States and other countries,” ABC News quotes it.
According to McMarr, these actions of the American side are not directed against Russia or any other country.
In November, the Russian defense ministry reported that the Su-27 fighter was raised to intercept an EP-3E Aries US aircraft approaching the country's borders.
