MOSCOW, June 2. /TASS/ Russia is concerned over the escalation of the Kiev regime’s terrorist activity in the Black Sea where Ukrainian troops carry out bandit-style raids on ships and blame this on Russia, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

"We are concerned about the Kiev regime’s apparent increase of its terrorist activity in the Black Sea, which worsens conditions of and creates risks to civilian navigation," she said. "We insist that removing any security threats in the region is one of the major elements of a comprehensive settlement of the crisis around Ukraine."

"But so far, we see a typical trend: Ukrainian troops carry out bandit-style raids on vessels using uncrewed boats or drones and then blame this on Russia," she added.
