Russia sending 2 warships
Print Edition
Russia is sending two warships to the eastern Mediterranean, Interfax news agency said yesterday. But Moscow denied this meant it was beefing up its naval force there as Western powers prepare for military action.
Interfax quoted a source in the armed forces’ general staff as saying Russia was deploying a missile cruiser from the Black Sea Fleet and a large anti-submarine ship from the Northern Fleet in the “coming days.”
“The well-known situation now in the eastern Mediterranean required us to make some adjustments to the naval force,” the source said in a reference to Syria.
It was not clear when the vessels would arrive but Interfax said the Moskva missile cruiser was currently in the North Atlantic and would set sail in the next few days.
