US warships in Black Sea
The United States will send two warships through the Bosphorus to the Black Sea, the Turkish foreign ministry said yesterday, as tensions simmer between Russia and Ukraine. The ships will stay in the region until May 4, the foreign ministry said in a statement. Turkish media said the warships will enter the Black Sea next week. The latest warship deployment comes after Russia sent military reinforcements to both the eastern Ukrainian border and Crimea. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Thursday that the number of Russian troops at the border with Ukraine was now greater "than at any time since 2014".
