Last month, it was reported the three countries were holding the exercises to “ensure regional security”.
Dmytro Pletenchuk, the Ukraine Navy spokesman, has recently claimed that Russian ships in the Black Sea are now being forced to “hide” from Ukrainian strikes.
He said: “These vessels were forced to move along the Turkish border, in effect hiding out in Turkish territorial waters. Thus not taking the shortest route, which they would normally take, but instead fleeing to their hiding spots.”
