Peskov: UAV flights over the Black Sea prove the involvement of the United States in the conflict against Russia

This was stated by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov in an interview with the TV channel "Russia 1" for the program "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin."

"In fact, we are talking about the direct involvement of the operators of these drones in the conflict. Moreover, against us," Peskov said.

He called the incidents "extremely dangerous."

Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu presented Su-27 pilots who prevented the violation of the boundaries of the special operation area by an American drone to state awards.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, invited the Us authorities to answer the question of how much the US MQ-9 drone intercepted by a Russian fighter jet over the Black Sea actually cost.
