America sends warship to the Black Sea as Putin and Obama fail to solve their differences and new Ukrainian prime minister’s jet is boarded by police after terror attack alert
The guided-missile destroyer USS Truxton was seen heading north
through Istanbul, Turkey, along the Bosphorous Strait, as Washington
rushed to reassure allies over Russia's effective seizure of Crimea. The
Black Sea peninsula is home to Russia's Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol,
which includes 24 warships, two submarines and 16,000 sailors and
marines. The deployment comes only a day after the Pentagon announced
plans to station more U.S. fighter jets in the Baltics, along Russia's
western border.
