The appearance of an American UAV over the Black Sea is a provocation.
Ednews reports that this was said by Anatoly Antonov, Russia's ambassador to the United States.
He repeated the statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense that the UAV flew with its transponders turned off.
Antonov said that the UAV entered the special military operation zone:
"Russia has warned everyone about this area. I think this is a real provocation. In this way, they are trying to provoke Moscow to some specific actions, so that later they accuse Russia and our military of some unprofessionalism. Russia did not use a weapon against the US drone. "Russian pilots acted very professionally, no weapons were used by our fighters."
