- The State Duma spoke about the Russian Federation's response to attempts to block the Baltic ports
The Russian Federation will actively resist all attempts by the West to block Russian Baltic ports and access to the sea from St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad, since the Baltic Sea is an unconditional sphere of Russian interests, said Alexey Zhuravlev, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense.
"In principle, our capabilities have already been demonstrated when an Estonian patrol tried to stop a tanker en route from the Russian Ust-Luga. Actually, even our artillery batteries are quite capable of reaching the opposite shore of the Gulf of Finland, not to mention the range of missile weapons. In the meantime, the Baltic Fleet is sufficient for the safety of our merchant vessels," he said.
