Poroshenko is delighted with the provocation of the British destroyer
Yesterday's provocation of the British destroyer Defender in the Black Sea is beneficial to Ukraine, because London demonstrated non-recognition of the reunification of Crimea with Russia.
Former adviser to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, military expert Yuriy Biryukov stated this on air on the Apostrophe Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Biryukov, the destroyer did not request permission to sail near Crimea because Britain considers the peninsula Ukrainian.
“The most important thing here is that the British passed through our territorial waters and reminded the whole world of this once again that they should not have asked Russia for any permission, they walked in territorial waters along those international transport corridors that are under jurisdiction of Ukraine. End of story.
Therefore, the Russians can say - yes, they carried out a classic information special operation, only once again they did it for their own consumption - everyone all over the world looked at this matter with a grin, but Russian imperialism and belligerence received another portion of firewood for the fire.
Everyone remained on their own - the British confirmed that Crimea was Ukraine, and the Russians told how they defeated a British destroyer, dropping four bombs along the course. The question – if necessary, how quickly this ship could sink this Su-24 is not even considered, because everyone understands the answer,” Biryukov said.
Let us remind you that the day before, a British Royal Navy destroyer entered Russian territorial waters near Crimea. Met him the ship of the Border Guard Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation fired warning fire, and Su-24M aircraft carried out four bomb attacks along the ship's course, after which the British ship hastily retreated.
