Ukraine responds to downing of US drone over Black Sea
Kyiv, Ukraine - Ukraine's Air Force has defended the deployment of US reconnaissance drones after the military incident in the Black Sea.
"The Black Sea is not an internal sea of Russia, as they have occupied the Sea of Azov and consider it theirs," Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yuri Ihnat said on Tuesday night.
The Black Sea is also bordered by NATO members, including Turkey and Romania, which is why the US drones are operating there on a legal basis, he added.

The US invoked international law that allows the operation over neutral waters and warned Russia not engage in any kind of escalations. A new US drone has already been deployed in place of the crashed one, Ihnat said.
