NATO To Deploy Warships In Black Sea Amid Ukraine War? Putin Issues This Dire Warning To West

Russia has responded to NATO's possible deployment of warships in the Black Sea. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that Russia would consider any plans to establish a permanent presence of NATO warships in the Black Sea as a threat. He also vowed that "Russia will take all necessary measures to ensure its security." The fresh escalation came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree on July 17 and proposed "ensuring the permanent presence of NATO forces in the Black Sea."
