On Tuesday, December 15, despite the spread of coronavirus infection, another illegal military exercise was held in the occupied Crimea, during which helicopter pilots flew in conditions of limited visibility. This was reported by the press service of the Black Sea Fleet.
“The helicopter pilots flew in conditions of limited visibility due to low cloudiness and crosswind. The flights were carried out in the daytime and at night”,- the message said.
We remind that military exercises, propaganda of military service and conscription into the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation are regularly held in the occupied Crimea. The Russian military exercises are destroying the ecosystem of the peninsula and are a flagrant violation of international law.
Earlier, NATO in its statement on Crimea condemned Russia's ongoing large-scale military build-up in Crimea and expressed concern over Russia's efforts and announced plans to further build up military power in the Black Sea region.
