RUSSIA has called on the United Kingdom to stop provocations after the incident with the HMS Defender warship, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said.

Ryabkov said in an interview with the Mezhdunarodnaya Zhizn magazine on Tuesday, stressing that the Black Sea was not a place for such games.

On June 23, the Russian Defence Ministry said that UK Navy’s Defender destroyer entered Russia’s territorial waters near Cape Fiolent in Crimea.

Russia’s Black Sea Fleet and the border security forces had to fire warning shots to divert the destroyer.

“You need to speak as directly as possible with provocateurs, substantively explaining on your fingers that next time they should leave their provocations aside and not meddle in here.

The risks of conflict as a result of this may increase even more, the Black Sea is not the place where such games are permissible. (Sputnik/NAN)
