Lavrov on the Pentagon chief's statement that the US will fly wherever it wants: "You have heard representatives of the Pentagon say that the US will continue to fly wherever it wants. But if you follow this logic, the zone around the US has the same status as the zone above Black Sea.
They completely ignore the fact that after the start of a special military operation, our military declared the relevant areas of the Black Sea adjacent to certain places as areas with a restricted status for the use of any aviation. Such defiant ignoring of this objective fact, of course, suggests that the American side is constantly trying to find some provocation to ramp up its confrontational approaches.This is bad because they have consistently declared themselves to be a responsible power interested in strategic stability. But words are inconsistent with deeds. Any incidents that provoke a clash between two major powers, two major nuclear powers in the world, always carry very serious risks. They can't understand that."
