Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that US surveillance planes operated in sync with British destroyers during the Black Sea incident last week in what was described as “provocation” to test Moscow’s response.
Moscow said a warning shot and a fighter dropped a bomb on the British destroyer road on June 23 to force him to leave the area near the Crimean Peninsula, which was represented by Russia in 2014.
England denied that his ship was not excited and said it sailed in the waters of Ukraine.
Asked whether the incident could trigger World War III, Putin said that it was almost impossible even if Russia sank British warships because Western forces knew they could not appear as winners in global conflicts.
Direct call show, Putin said that the mission of the expression of the US aircraft was to monitor Russian military response to British destroyers.
He added that Moscow was aware of Inte as ntions and answered accordingly to avoid disclosing sensitive data.
In an incident on Wednesday, the UK insisted the defender had traveled regularly through internationally recognized travel routes and remained in the waters of Ukraine near Crimea.
England, like most of the world, recognizes the Crimea as part of Ukraine despite the year 2014 annexation by Russia.
Russia condemned the defender’s move as a provocation and warned that the next time it could shoot to hit a biding warship if they were again trying to test the Determination of Russian military.
Responding to the question of the pull of the Russian War with Ukraine, Putin emphasized his old close kinship claims between the people of Russia and Ukraine, but accused the leadership of Ukraine to maintain hostile courses against Russia.
The Russian President spends most of the marathon calls in the show talking about domestic problems.
He voiced hope that the country could avoid national locking amid a surge in new infection.
Putin argues that decisions by local authorities in a number of regions that make mandatory vaccination for some workers must help contain waves of new infections and avoid the lock.
“Our colleagues in certain areas aim to avoid the need for locking, when the entire company is closed and people are left without their work, without their salary,” Putin said.
He also revealed that he chose Sputnik V – Coronavirus vaccine developed in the Russian country guilty as the first in the world to be authorized to be used – for his vaccination.
Putin got his first Coronavirus shot at the end of the march out of the public eye, and remained tight lying about the vaccine which of the three developed domestically available when he chose.
The Russian president said he did not consult with his doctor about this, but further looked at his acquaintances made, and went for Sputnik V, because it gave the longest protection against the virus.
He added that he initially did not mention the vaccine he took to avoid offering the benefits for the maker.
Russia gave approval of the V thergetic regulation last August and faced criticism both at home and abroad, because the shot was only tested on several dozen people at that time.
However, the criticism has been penetrated by a report in the prestigious British medical journal, this year’s Lancet said that large-scale testing showed it to be safe, with a level of efficacy of 91 percent against the virus.
Russia has struggled to overcome the surge in infection and death in recent weeks that come amid a rather slow vaccination rate.
The death of Coronavirus in Russia reached a new daily record Wednesday, with the authorities reported 669 new deaths.
Russia has registered more than 20,000 new Coronavirus cases and around 600 deaths every day since last Thursday.
On Wednesday, 21,042 new infections were recorded.
