The Russian military command will take into account when planning operations in the Black Sea basin the possibility of supporting NATO ships following the following vessels from Ukraine. So the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova commented on the issue of “Anadol” regarding the statement of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky that the West will provide Ukraine with warships to protect vessels transporting grain in the Black Sea.
“Zelensky’s statements say that the militarization of NATO countries does not stop for a minute, and for this any motives are used. I would like it to be clear that the declared goal of guarding the vessels transporting grain, this is a grain. Absolute cover for potential military adventures of the Kiev regime and its Western curators in the Black Sea, ”said Zakharova.
According to the Russian diplomat, they “remember very well in the Russian Federation,” how Kiev used “humanitarian corridors intended for the transportation of food within the Black Sea initiative in order to strike the Crimea and its inhabitants.” Zakharova reminded that Moscow qualified it as “terrorist attacks” and said that “they are behind them, including the British.”
“There is no doubt that Kiev and Westerners, hiding behind good intentions, are doing the matter of further destabilization in the Black Sea region and just want the escalation of the crisis. If all this happens, the new situation will be taken into account by the Russian military command in the planning of operations in Black Sea basin, ”Zakharova summed up.
Answering the question of whether Russia is taking any steps to convince the parties to extend the humanitarian pause in the gas sector, Zakharova said that Moscow from the first day of the conflict has been conducting contacts with the countries of the region for this purpose, and also maintains relations as with states, and with political forces that have the opportunity to influence the situation.
“I would like to say about the political work that was conducted on international venues – this is the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly, where we made the same positions from the very beginning,” said the Russian diplomat.
At the same time, Zakharova noted the “destructive approach” of the USA and their “satellites”, including Britain, which “blocked” everything that was associated with the words “humanitarian pause”, “ceasefire” and “de -escalation”. P>
“But our position, consonant with the position of the world majority, prevailed, and here we see the result now – the first positive news in almost two months – unlocking the situation with hostages, a humanitarian pause and delivery of food and medicine,” Zakharova noted, expressing it. The hope is that all “this will not be torn.”
