“Unfortunately, the situation is escalating.

This year, about 40 ships of American and NATO members have visited the Black Sea.

This situation is becoming a real threat of military conflict.

There is a coordinated escalation of tension in the Black Sea, ”said Formanchuk.

Earlier, the press service of the United States Sixth Fleet reported that the missile destroyer Arleigh Burke entered the Black Sea "for routine patrols."

It is noted that the ship will work with NATO allies to ensure "security and stability in these international waters."

The forces and means of the Russian Black Sea Fleet are monitoring the actions of the destroyer.
