Tit-for-tat! The Russian Navy has shown all its cards to deal with the challenges of the United States and the West, and the Russian deputy foreign minister has said that the US military assistance to Ukraine is actually a threat to Russia
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said on the 9th local time that in terms of the current unusually active supply of military weapons to Ukraine by the United States, the United States has obviously attempted to exert political and military pressure on Russia and wants to take this opportunity to further intimidate Russia.
Earlier, there was news that the United States or will deploy the "THAAD" anti-missile system in Ukraine, Ryabkov bluntly said that if the United States really provides "THAAD" for Ukraine, it will only further intensify the contradictions between Russia and Ukraine, so that the possibility of a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian issue through diplomatic means becomes minimal. The Russian side has repeatedly called on the United States to stop the turmoil and let the Ukrainian issue be resolved at an early date, but the United States has repeatedly ignored Russia's demands, and even stood behind Ukraine in an attempt to intensify the situation in Ukraine.
Under the strong mediation of France and Germany and other countries, Russia has also made a statement on the situation in Ukraine. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova said at a press conference on the 9th that if the current tension in Ukraine is wanted to be effectively alleviated in a short period of time, then the United States and NATO should immediately stop providing military assistance to Ukraine, including equipment and personnel, recall military advisers who have arrived in Ukraine, stop all military exercises with the Ukrainian army and withdraw a series of weapons and equipment that have been delivered to Ukraine.
With the re-escalation of the situation in Russia and Ukraine, both sides have made a large number of military deployments at the border. In this situation, the United States and Western countries began to hype up, in the international community to play up Russia's heavy troops in an attempt to "invade" Russia. The Russian side has strongly denied this, saying that all Russian military activities in its territory are only to protect territorial security, because NATO military operations at the Russian border have seriously threatened Russia's border security.
Affected by the Ukraine issue, Russia's military contest with the United States and Western countries is not only fierce on land, but also at sea. US media reports said that when the Russian-Ukrainian issue has further escalated and Russia is "eyeing the tiger" on Ukraine, the US aircraft carrier "Truman", the French "Charles de Gaulle" aircraft carrier and the Italian "Cavour" aircraft carrier formed a three-aircraft carrier formation and are holding large-scale military exercises in the Mediterranean.
At a time when the situation between Russia and Ukraine continues to be tense, the United States, France, and Italy have sent three aircraft carrier formations to exercise on the neighboring Mediterranean Sea, apparently to put pressure on Russia. Of course, Russia is very aware of the intentions of these three countries at this time, in response to NATO's military exercises in the Mediterranean, Russia can be said to be unyielding, directly showing the bottom card of the Russian Navy, and gathering the three "glorious" class missile cruisers known as "aircraft carrier killers" in the Mediterranean, in order to show NATO Russia's attitude.
Russia's "Glory" class missile cruiser is a "carrier killer" specially built in the Soviet era to restrain the US supercarrier, the ship is equipped with 16 powerful P-500 "basalt" heavy supersonic anti-ship missiles, the maximum flight speed of Mach 2.5, the range of up to 550 kilometers, is the Soviet Navy's most proud anti-aircraft carrier weapon. The "Glory" class guided-missile cruiser can be said to be the last type of "song" left for naval cruisers in the Soviet era, although because of Russia's embarrassing economic problems in the past period of time, it can only be "self-pity" in the port, but its combat effectiveness can still not be underestimated. Especially after the improvement of the Russian economy, the P-500 "basalt" missile equipped on the ship has been replaced by the longer range P-1000 "volcanic rock" supersonic missile, which has greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the "Glory" class missile cruiser.
The simultaneous amassion of three Glorious-class guided-missile cruisers is the first time in the history of the Russian Navy that it speaks volumes about Russia's resolute staunch attitude toward Ukraine. It has been clearly told that the US-led NATO will not solve the problem, and Russia will definitely not make unreasonable concessions to NATO. #US ##Russia ##乌克兰 #
