Kirby said that the United States does not intend to comply with the restrictions imposed by Russia in the Black Sea

This was stated by the coordinator for strategic communications of the White House John Kirby.

"They can announce whatever they want, they can say whatever they want. We are going to continue to fly and act in accordance with international law, "TASS quoted him as saying.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claims that the United States ignores the fact that after the start of the CVO, the coastal areas of the Black Sea have a limited status for flights.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in a conversation with the head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin, noted that the flights of American strategic drones near the coast of Crimea are provocative, so Russia will continue to respond proportionately to all provocations.
