Zakharova called Kiev's provocations in the Black Sea acts of terrorism

Russia is concerned about the escalation of terrorist activity in the Black Sea by the Kiev regime. This was announced on June 2 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

"We are concerned about the noticeable escalation of terrorist activity in the Black Sea by the Kiev regime, which leads to a deterioration of conditions and an increase in risks for civilian navigation, and we believe that the elimination of any security threats in the region remains one of the most important elements of a comprehensive settlement of the crisis around Ukraine," Zakharova said on the agency's website.

She added that the attack of Ukrainian unmanned boats on tankers off the coast of Turkey on May 28 demonstrates the Kiev regime's complete disregard for international law. Zakharova stressed that such terrorist attacks should be a reason for international investigation.

"Of course, both the organizers and the performers must answer for this blatant robbery. We confirm our readiness for close cooperation with Ankara in the interests of finding optimal ways to stabilize the Black Sea water area and exert effective influence on Kiev," Zakharova added.

"Well-deserved punishment will be inevitable"
