Russian military analyst Vlad Shurygin believes that the adjustment in the plans of the American fleet is associated with political changes in the United States.
“This is a clear sign that America is reconsidering its relationship with Ukraine. Because under Obama this was simply impossible. Any ship that appeared in the Black Sea, it ritually had to enter Ukraine, display its flag, and demonstrate Atlantic support. And now the ship turned around in the Black Sea and left. And only after him can Ukrainian hot girls wave,” Shurygin said.
