“Ukraine has nothing to do with this incident, and we officially deny any accusations of this kind made by Russian propaganda,” Tykhi said.
Moreover, the spokesman noted, the declared route from Russia to Georgia through Turkey’s exclusive economic zone makes no sense and “suggests that Russia could have staged this whole situation.”
Turkey’s Maritime Affairs Authority said the tanker MIDVOLGA-2 “was attacked” 80 miles off the coast of Turkey “while en route from Russia to Georgia with a cargo of sunflower oil.”
We will remind, last Friday in the Black Sea due to “external influence” two sanctioned tankers caught fire near the coast of Turkey. “UP” sources in the SBU said that it was a special operation of the Security Service of Ukraine.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called these cases “an alarming escalation.”
