NATO works to build 'strong hand' in the Black Sea with Ukraine's help

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the alliance was forced to strengthen its presence in the Black Sea in response to Russia's actions. According to Stoltenberg, it makes sense to recognize the strengthening of Russia in the Black Sea after the illegal annexation of the Crimea, Stoltenberg said at a joint press conference in Brussels with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmygal. As long as NATO attaches strategic importance to the Black Sea region, Russia's military build-up in this region is a matter of concern for the alliance. Not so long ago, a tactical boat group together with an American destroyer and a support ship conducted joint PASSEX training in the Black Sea with the participation of the aviation of the naval forces of the Ukrainian armed forces.It is worthy of note that the United States have been increasing its presence in the Black Sea after Russia's reunification with the Crimea.
