Evening with Vladimir Solovyov (№ 421563)

The typical fiasco of the provocation of the British destroyer Defender in the Black Sea, which abruptly changed course from Russian territorial waters after warning shots from a patrol ship, will remain a scent stain in the reputation of the Royal Navy for a long time. Therefore, it is not surprising that the convulsive attempts of official London and Pentagon Secretary John Kirby, even after the publication by Russia of video recordings of warning shooting and direct evidence from the destroyer crew, to deny the obvious, calling it all disinformation. Who, if not the former Rear Admiral Kirby, is well aware that for the Russian armed forces that reliably protect the security of Crimea, the Defender destroyer anywhere in the Black Sea is just a fat target for the anti-ship complexes of the Black Sea Fleet. In this regard, we call on the Pentagon and the command of the British naval forces, which are sending their warships to the Black Sea, not to tempt fate in vain, following the lead of the Ukrainian admirals of the mosquito fleet, but to be guided by reason.
