“This is pure provocation. This shows the level of contemporary political thinking of Americans in the sphere of military affairs per se. Provocations are characteristic of them, ”Tsekov explained.
The senator noted that Russia was following the actions of the American side and was worried to a certain extent, but the parliamentarian emphasized that Crimea is very well protected.
Tsekov is convinced that Russia does not need to respond to such steps.
“The United States is well aware that we have something to answer. In my opinion, we will not succumb to such provocations, ”he concluded.
Earlier in the command of the US Armed Forces in Europe, said that a pair of strategic bombers B-52H made a training flight over the Black Sea.
It was reported that one of the B-52H approached the Crimea and simulated a bombing.
