The US is trying to cover up its unseemly acts with lies. In particular, they lied, explaining to the Americans that they were forced to build up their military presence in the Black Sea because of the strengthening of the Russian grouping in the region. This was stated by the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security Eugene Serebrennikov. He recalled that lately accusations against Russia have been heard from the USA. Say, she and her nuclear potential secretly increases, and the military forces to the borders pulls together. Now they are accused of "building up their presence in the Black Sea water area". It is clear why Washington needs this: thus, the US authorities try to divert attention from their own arms race and build up military presence in different regions of the world, the senator believes.. However, as Serebryannikov told RIA Novosti, attempts to "use this lie in political pressure on Russia" will not bring success. Last weekend, two US destroyers entered the Black Sea:

USS Carney, equipped with an air defense system and underwater detection and attack, Tomahawks and Harpoon missiles aboard it, and USS Ross, which is equipped with the Aegis missile defense system and which is also armed "Tomahawks".

Incidentally, it was the latter who fired upon the Syrian airfield "Shayrat" in April of last year on the orders of Donald Trump. Meanwhile, the US military department told CNN that sending ships to the Black Sea is a compulsory measure aimed at ensuring security in a region that is at risk because of Russia's behavior.
