The tension between Ukraine and the Russian Federation in the Azov and Black Seas will continue to intensify, “as each of the parties will confirm the sovereign rights and capabilities of the sea”, reports Ukrainska Pravda.
It is noted that the report on January 29 was presented by the director of the National Intelligence Agency of the United States Dan Coats. “The Kremlin will try to withstand and, if possible, expand its influence in the countries of the former Soviet Union, which he believes belongs to his sphere of influence,” said in intelligence agencies in the United States. A large-scale Russian attack on Ukraine, the US intelligence estimates as “operationally possible but not probably”.
