It has already reached the threat of bombs: tensions are growing between the United States and Russia over Crimea

Moscow unilaterally annexed Crimea to Ukraine in 2014. Russia has threatened to bomb all ships that enter the area.

The US Navy destroyer USS Ross recently left the Ukrainian port of Odessa to lead military exercises in the Black Sea, and CBS News' Holly Williams is the only US network correspondent aboard the warship.

As US relations with Russia deteriorated, the Black Sea became a potential flashpoint for conflict.

Williams watched as American sailors opened fire on an enemy ship, targeted enemy warplanes, and came under attack from fighter jets. It was just a simulation - a live-fire military exercise involving 28 American military allies.

But the real US rival appears to have followed the exercise closely. Four Russian ships took turns in pursuit of the USS Ross, and Russian fighters repeatedly circled nearby.

Commander John D. John, a 20-year veteran of the United States Navy, told Williams he was not worried. It will take much more than the Russians operating nearby to provoke a real confrontation.

“If someone opens fire on you, that would be grounds for self-defense,” he said. “If someone is aggressive and you feel threatened, you have the right to defend yourself.”

On the subject: How the war of the USA and Russia in the Black Sea will end: an assessment of the American media

When the British warship HMS Defender entered the Black Sea off Crimea last month, it was subjected to more hostile tactics. The UK government has denied Moscow's claims that Russian planes dropped bombs in the Defender's path and fired warning shots, but the Russian military did threaten.

On a radio broadcast about the incident, a Russian officer is heard warning the British vessel in heavy accent: "If you don't change course, I will shoot."

Russia sent soldiers to illegally seize control of the Crimean peninsula from neighboring Ukraine more than seven years ago, but the US and its allies do not recognize the Russian takeover, and military exercises in Crimean waters are further confirmation of this.

Russia has threatened to bomb in the future foreign warships that enter these waters.

The exercise, in which USS Ross is involved, takes place a few miles from a stretch of the Black Sea that Russia claims to be its own, and the US warship is heavily armed with Tomahawk and Harpoon missiles and torpedoes.

Commander John calls it the Swiss Army Knife of American warships—well-equipped to fend off aggression from enemy ships, aircraft, or even submarines.

During exercises Seabreeze 2021 The US Navy has demonstrated this, in part to appease American allies.

“The message is that international airspace and waters are for everyone, not just one country,” John said.

The United States declares that it is committed to maintaining the security of the Black Sea, which is important for the United States' friends in the region, including many countries that live in close proximity to Russia and fear Russian encroachment on their territory.
