"We continue to maintain contacts, including through the Ministry of Defense, in order to prevent unintentional collisions. I would like American politicians to have the same attitude to relations with Russia," Antonov said.
He stressed that Russia has done everything to prevent an air incident over the Black Sea that occurred on March 14.
Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that the main attention during the talks between the heads of the Russian and American defense departments Sergei Shoigu and Lloyd Austin was paid to an exchange of views on the causes and consequences of the incident with the crash of an American drone over the Black Sea.
Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev said that the situation with the American drone confirmed that the United States is directly involved in hostilities in Ukraine against Russia.
