Earlier in the day, it was reported that the international naval exercises Sea Breeze, held in the Black Sea, have ended. According to the deputy commander of the 65th operational Group of the Sixth Fleet of the US Navy, Kyle Gantt, the military is already beginning preparations for next year's exercises.
On July 9, the representative of the exercise command, Captain of the US Navy Stuart Bauman, said that most of the ships participating in the international Sea Breeze exercises will remain in the Black Sea for "some time" to participate in maneuvers in Bulgaria.
From June 28 to July 10, the annual Sea Breeze naval exercises were held in the Black Sea. Their participants practiced combat operations at sea, on land and in the air, including amphibious landings, anti-submarine and anti-aircraft warfare. The exercises involved 5,000 military personnel, 40 aircraft and 32 ships from 32 countries, including Ukraine, the United States and NATO members.
On the day of the start of the exercises, the Russian delegation at the talks in Vienna on military security and arms control insisted that the scale and aggressiveness of Sea Breeze 2021 in the Black Sea do not contribute to security in the region.
