Kremlin: Pushing Russia out of the Black Sea has always been the main goal of the West  - 1

Putting Russia out of the Black Sea has always been the main goal of Western countries. This was stated by Nikolai Patrushev, advisor to the Russian president, TASS reports.

"Historical facts show that the expulsion of Russia from the Black Sea was regarded as a key objective pursued in the policy of the Anglo-Saxons. And today, the collective West, led by the USA, has plans to establish its long-term presence in the Black Sea region against the legitimate interests of our country," Patrushev said at a meeting with senior commanders of the Russian Navy and the Black Sea Fleet in Crimea.

Patrushev emphasized how important it is to "determine not only the prospective tactical-technical characteristics of warships and their weapons, but also to ensure a balance of the forces that make up the combat power of the fleet and the means of their support”. This, according to him, will help protect Russia's national interests, make the navy more versatile and expand the range of tasks performed.
