The Kremlin said on Thursday (18) that Russia would consider any plan to establish a permanent presence of NATO warships in the Black Sea as a threat, given the alliance’s involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the remark when asked by reporters on a conference call about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s new maritime security strategy. Zelensky spoke about the need to ensure that the Russian navy does not dominate the Black Sea.
“Of course, the concentrated presence of NATO ships – we are paying attention to Bulgaria and Romania, the coastal states that are members of the alliance (NATO) – of course this poses, especially in the current situation, an additional threat to Russia,” Peskov told reporters.
“Of course, Russia will take all necessary measures to ensure its own security.”
