The situation with the British warship off the coast of Crimea could have led to an inappropriate escalation.
The passage of the British destroyer Defender in the Black Sea near Crimea “could have led to an inappropriate escalation.” The military command of the United Kingdom is keen to prevent such situations, said the country’s chief of defense Nicholas Carter, writes TASS.
“What keeps me awake at night is [возможный] miscalculation that is the result of inappropriate escalation. What we saw in the Black Sea on Wednesday is a situation that could give rise to it. In this case, this did not happen, “- said Carter in an interview with The Daily Telegraph.
He added that a miscalculation in the game of “cat and mouse” with the Russian Federation could eventually lead to a full-scale war.
We will remind, on June 23 the ship of the Russian fleet opened “warning fire” by a British destroyer – the ship allegedly violated the “Russian border” near the Crimean coast.
It was also reported that the UK Department of Defense deny shooting from the Russian side by the British destroyer Defender off the coast of Crimea.
