According to the report, it can be concluded that the Russian sailors threatened the Americans with cracking down, and then the American ship returned to neutral waters, the Russian BBC service reports.

“Today at 6:17 pm The USS John McCain, a squadron of the United States Navy that has been sailing in the Gulf of Japan for several days in violation of Russian territorial waters for two days, entered two kilometers beyond the maritime border, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

Depending on the situation, the Russian warship Admiral Vinogradov warned the US seafarers through an international communication channel about “the illegality of the actions and the possibility of using a maneuvering maneuver to try to save the offender from territorial waters “.

The Russian Pacific Fleet is said to have not only issued a warning, but also changed course upon approaching John McCain. Then the US warship “quickly returned to international waters”, there were no repeated attempts to cross the naval border.

The Americans have yet to comment on the statement issued by the Russian Defense Ministry.

The USS John McCain is based at the Yososuka base in Japan. It is an American warship armed with Tomahawk missiles. The ship is named after two admirals, John S. McCain Jr. and John S. McCain Sr. (father and grandfather of Republican Senator John McCain).

Peter the Great Bay is the largest bay on the shores of the Japanese Sea in Russia. It is located in the southern part of the Primorsko region, on the shores of Vladivostok.

The Russian Defense Ministry also says that the Russian warship Admiral Vinogradov continues close to the American warship. In addition, the corvette “Soveršenyj” was sent to the territory.
