flank of the black sea black sea fleet.now it is blocked only with crimea, this flank was already covered, because it is impossible to have a naval black sea and not have crimea at the same time, since crimea was ukrainian. yes, this is a real threat of flags. not even a flank to the whole photo. it was a threat. here, well, the transition to crimea at first much more than the transition. rest of the coast. ah, the sea of ​​azov. yes more here from my point of view. e. uh-huh, how to say so, e, here again is an ideological moment. yes, we have finally returned the sea of ​​azov, by the way, to its native harbor. yes, at the beginning of the crimea, then the sea of ​​\u200b\u200bazov. uh, because it is clear that all coastal cities. we are the same e, berdyansk differed little from mariupol or donetsk, and when the border passed there between e, mariupol and avdiivka, yes, there or e between mariupol, and well, the border and russia between growth, yes, then this it was definitely abnormal abnormal. just from the point of vi

so, ukraine insists that the black sea, like the baltic sea, become a nato sea .how realistic is this? what does this mean ? it's us now and we will talk to the air oleksandr khara, an expert on foreign security policy of the center for defense strategies oleksandr my greetings words of dmytro kuleba let's make the black sea a nato sea this means take us to nato does this mean that let's sign some kind of additional agreement, ukraine is not in nato yet and somehow determine the strategy of nato and the usa on the black sea. how to understand it. well, i think that these are several steps that must be taken. it is clear that ukraine needs finnishization so that we are mutually compatible signs and at the right time , we became members of nato, this is the only guarantee of security for ukraine against the base civil and nuclear russian federation . document that was prepared by the expert community, it consisted of several points, the first is that the black sea black sea region has been so neglected for too long , they did not pay attention to it in the 14th year

answered to the journalists that this will never happen, it is about the consolidated use of the black sea and being a sea of ​​the north atlantic alliance, except that it will never be able to and they certainly will not allow it evgenia haber, senior analyst of the center for the study of modern turkey of carleton university, we are already in touch, congratulations evgenia slava to ukraine good day heroes, glory to ukraine so we would like you to measure the temperature on this an extremely important security conference, in particular, it is not about analytical reports, but about an emotional assessment of the situation, in particular, it is about the russian threat , how big is the consensus of the participants of the conference dedicated to the security of the black sea basin, then in fact the temperature is high because the participation and representation of different countries in different conferences is very high, what is called a plow a large number of delegations from various countries, a very large number of high-ranking guests at the level of ministers of defense and minister

the black sea and non-black sea states defined a certain mode of entry and exit into the black sea,urkey strictly adheres to it with the beginning of russian aggression against ukraine on the entry and exit of military personnel ships in russia, ukraine, well, ukraine is clean formally, because we didn't have such a thing, but russian ships were forbidden to pass through the black sea straits. so, even those ships that are in the mediterranean sea will not be able to reach the black sea before our victory, and after it, i think that they are already here and there will be nothing to do. and i would still like to go back for a moment to those surprises promised by er-reznikov . well, what we are talking about here is that ukraine will receive some necessary weapons to impress the black sea fleet from the west partners, and here it is obvious. some political will is needed, not just weapons, or is it about the fact that most likely ukraine is developing some kind of its own weapons and has two components to defeat the black sea fleet here definitely and not necessarily there some seri

it is impossible to talk about the black sea as a nato sea, but we are talking about nato being muchent here in the black sea. of course, about the fact that a corresponding strategy was formed to increase the presence of the naval forces and that the three littoral countries that are members of nato play a more serious role in terms of maritime security, because of course we know their role in general and their position in relation to the russian aggression, but here is the issue of maritime security. they still remain quite in limbo. well, ukraine is not a member of nato, but how can ukraine do this? wow, you know, it is interesting enough , first of all, let's not forget that ukraine even since two years ago when we received the status partner of enhanced capabilities. we received enough opportunities for joint exercises, patrols , some joint actions that we could carry out with nato, and we already then, a year before the aggression , called on nato to be more present in the the black sea region, including because of the position of turkey - this did not happen because they belie

alliance to turn the black sea into an inland sea. ukrainian foreign minister dmitry kuleba called on nato to make a statement at a nato conference in bucharest dedicated to the security of the black sea for kiev and nato security. this means the containment of russia, and even better , its entire expulsion from the black sea region. what the conferences spoke about openly called it the demilitarization of the conference. they spoke the baltic sea. like, nato members have also surrounded him from all sides and are creating in eastern europe such a cordon sanitaire from the baltic to the black sea, who want to control completely in the kremlin right away dali will never understand this. the statement is based on two contradictions, and demolitarization is mutually exclusive concepts for the black sea never visit the sea. we need this common sea for all coastal states. it should be in my cooperation of interoperability and security. and it should be indivisible security. nato has been trying to strengthen its presence for a long time, t

all this unrealizable black sea fleet. he was and will be the master of the black sea.rican drones regularly fly in the black sea, sometimes in close proximity to russian territorial waters, the constanta base in romania , one of the main centers of nato activity in the black sea region. mostly. this is reconnaissance and tracking, american fighter drones take off. for these purposes, from turkish bases. the main ones are figs from the world and pershindende, nato intelligence officers are present and bulgaria are ready to provide their infrastructure and ukrainians odessa nikolaev naturally. the russian aerospace forces are aware of all this. and any nato activity in the black sea region is closely monitored in mid-march, 60 km from the crimea , an american mq-9 ripper drone crashed, the air was then raised, russian fighters protested to the american side, after this flight reapers have been suspended. but in france today there is a 12 nationwide strike against raising the retirement age due to the strike , airports and railways are working intermittently , throughout

surveillance drone over the black sea. it lets russia and the entire world know that the united states house of representatives stands strongly together in condemning the actions of the pilot that downed the u.s. surveillance drone. it says unequivocally that the united states of america will stand and stand together and working together with our friends and allies against the provocative and i believe criminal actions of putin. with that, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york yields. the gentleman from florida is recognized. mr. mast: mr. speaker, i yield myself the remainder of my time. in closing, i want to thank the gentleman from new york, mr. williams, for introducing this important resolution. i believe that this chamber has to stand firmly against russian aggression. i believe very firmly that the united states of america has to have big, giant brass stones. if our aggressors show that they have bigger brass stones than what we do, then we will not be the leader o

fleet on the territory of ukraine, let me remind you that not only in sevastopol, the russian black seaet was located in various territories of the crimea, at that time it was possible to achieve the withdrawal of the russian black sea fleet, and russia still hesitated to accept, unfortunately, it was concluded incorrectly that the agreement was concluded then, and i remind you that even in the transitional in the provisions of the constitution , there was a mention of it, the black sea fleet, about his stay . it was necessary to tear up this agreement , finally, it was already in politics for russia, it was a danger. and when they put an actual interloper, which was yanukovych, it is obvious that it is yakir, they decided to continue, since they did not have 226 honest votes, they grabbed their cards and this is a separate the topic that needs to be considered, what exactly yehor said that they did not look into crimes on the part of deputies, and bribing deputies - this is a crime, vote falsification, this is a crime, so it was not considered, there were 226 cards, but there was no ph

region, the keeper of the keys to the black sea, the second most powerful nato army and the country that still manages to enter a dialogue with russia, this is the column, the emphasis is to name oleksiy fadeev, and today we are focusing on the neighboring and important turkey, is it useful the current role of turkey in the region and the world for ukraine and whether it can change if prijeb and its pardogan lose the elections, we will talk about it as usual with guests in the studio , today's guests are yevhen dobryak , an expert, an international expert, and a people's deputy of the sixth convocation i congratulate you and the international political scientist , professor of the department of international relations of the national aviation university, gentlemen . i congratulate you, so as it was said in the brief. recognize the kremlin's claims to ukrainian territory. one of the first leaders of the nato member countries provided military aid to the armed forces of ukraine in the very first weeks , and it was important both technically and militarily and psychologically, because

fleet here the situation is completely different in the black sea as you know there is no presence moment it is in the mediterranean sea and now turkey first russia's aggression against us has closed the straits. in fact, only the turkish fleet remains in the black sea, and it is not so large , and in fact the largest number of hai and concern cans , but remains afloat in the russian federation. this black sea fleet has generally lost any serious strategic threat to other countries, so it threatens us . but in order to remove this threat, we clearly say here to our international partners and day and nick and i take an active part in this. we need universal fighter jets with missiles to destroy the last ones and prevent the russian navy from deploying its launchers with the calibers of what they are doing . we see that there are 7 boats, they deployed three of them with calibers on board, yes. these are the ones that carry calibers to destroy them and deter them. this is exactly why we need modern fighters such as the f-16, but even with the mig-29 received from slovakia, i think wh

it is funny for char reports, from romania as black sea coast. your to get on george. you lost his job fishing on the black sea, but since to war a neighboring ukraine, his attention is on more than just mackerel and muscles. we've got a victo. yes, yes, i was over or did you see a my home and they said the love or no, no flamingoes. we're lucky. one, flamingo is the name of a fellow fishing vessel that most recently spotted a c mine. your again his team, the to fish, to make money. but his, as the fear of mine is making things difficult. with them all can we box night? we often fish for muscles, but that's limited. now, you can't go if it's foggy or if the moonlight is not bright enough. well, you have to stay in dock. we're afraid to go. why would you risk it? if we could, you could die if it was in the black sea has always been crucial for those who live on and from it. but it's also vital for those who passed through before the war. it was the most important road for grain coming out of ukraine, but that war has made the black sea a terribly dangerous place. navy s

and there are countries which middle ones go to the black sea. and are there any that belong to the black sea region, and if we talk about those countries that directly go to the black sea, then here only four countries are nato countries, and in addition to three countries, there are countries european union and what it is is being held in bucharest. it is true that on the one hand it is a nato country and on the other hand it is a country of the european union . in addition, this document will talk about what should be done together there sea lines, that is, to ensure the unobstructed passage of ships that is, no warships, but here there is really a lot of attention to turkey, because turkey has a powerful fleet. and in this territory , this document also says that it is very important that the grain a-a this contract was , let's say, secured and also in this the document says that a needs to create a-a such for security e-e security e-e it is necessary to make security in order to also e-e protect e-e this region in addition, there is a relate

tell the ships somewhere at the bottom of the black sea .bmarine, in my opinion, 500 tons. bandera residents we are not talking about stopping our participation in this operation, no, we are talking about stopping , please pay attention to us, i am begging for a new deal , this is beyond the scope, just like your ball is beyond the frame of the ball, your nose has gone up the first climbers, my corridor was torn down by the ukrainian side. russia, on its part, did not violate anything except the integrity of several states. preemptively launch a nuclear strike on ukraine. the most you can do is blow up a transformer, a handful. i want to praise you for your position. came out of this grain contract, how does this scoundrel not tickle from the tendrils thank you aleksandr grigoryevich and no , it tickles you if you are afraid that they have hit these ships on your ships i'm sorry, of course , don't apologize, he himself eats like that now , let's do it, we'll deal with the grain. congratulations on the 1000th anniversary request for money fro

the cruiser was the flagship of the russian black sea fleet.t was he who took part in the capture of snake island and summer from the black sea fleet went to the bottom. i personally thought that he was not tired because, after all, the ship is very large and, according to all calculations , the use of kalak missiles in order to destroy a ship of this class is needed for at least 6-7 smooth years. the ukrainian military had enough for two missiles . how many russian sailors died at that time? the official figures are still unknown. one person died. 27 are missing. this, in turn , made it possible to conclude a crude agreement extremely important for the ukrainian economy. a day before the successful shot, ukrposhta issued a postage stamp dedicated to the heroism of border guards from snake, on which the same russian warship was depicted, after the sinking of the cruiser, ukrainians lined up in long lines to buy it, the brand broke all records in only the first five days, half a million copies were sold. that's it. thanks to our colleagues serhi

occupiers on the territory of crimea, what is the value of this facility in the end and for the black seaian federation, which is currently based in the temporarily occupied ukrainian crimea, it is clear that the destruction of this oil base, or rather, the reduction of opportunities for the occupiers to use it for its intended purpose in such a medium-term perspective, it will seriously affect the ability of the russian occupying forces to use warships, and it is clear that this would not completely undermine their ability to withdraw ships in this way into the sea but nevertheless, this is one of the factors that we, so to speak, systematically try to put pressure on the russian military in the territory of crimea and to make sure that they do not have additional opportunities and even the minimum necessary opportunities for that in order to fulfill the tasks set before them by their occupation command well, actually, the fact that such a condition is starting to happen in the territory of crimea occupied by the russians quite regularly is that the gur absolutely correctly and objective

that is why the emphasis was placed on the fact that nato should be more active in the black sea. and if it is not possible to involve only the black sea countries, it is necessary to involve other in principle, this would be the main e-e messages, although i can say that in principle 100% of the countries that participated in this conference, who are actually present with their presence, who are online, all of them one hundred percent expressed their support for ukraine in the struggle for the restoration of sovereignty over territorial integrity , including at sea. what was in principle behind the scenes, there were some experts, how do they assess the prospects of our offensive, because a number of publications in the foreign press, including with a leak of information that is there due to problems the secrecy of the pentagon, eh, conclusions are drawn that at the current stage, the success of the ukrainian offensive may be quite limited. and what do political experts say, behind the scenes, with whom you spoke, how do they assess the situation, because their opinion or ours af

non-april heat, but it is still warm and from the rain there is such a scent of freshness, and other black seaers remained at the epicenter of the bad weather. these shots, for example, from turkey, istanbul is covered by a black thundercloud. and black. in the literal sense, at some point, the day literally changed into night, the thunderstorm cloudiness turned out to be so powerful, the worsening of the weather is associated with the next atlantic cyclone, which makes its way to us from the mediterranean sea. it moves along the southern periphery of the vast anticyclone over the russian plain. so today its cloud fields will continue to be concentrated on three black sea coasts. the heaviest precipitation is expected in the azov and in the kuban here in places more than a quarter of the monthly volume of moisture will pour out in a day. besides, for the bad. the degree of solar heating of the air on the shores of the black sea will decrease to the clouds. today the temperature will go down to plus 12-17°c. in donetsk, for example, the day before it was plus 18, and today the thermometers will

this is the number of missile carriers that are in the black and mediterranean seas .ges from time to time. they have their own autonomy of sailing as long as they can be on duty and then have to go to the supply point in order to renew their supplies as a rule . now we observe that they are maneuvering with these so-called levers of influence that they consider for themselves and try to hmm change the stressful situation from time to time and relieve the tension, this is such an element of psychological pressure as one of the main factors of influence on the population during the hybrid war, well, then i am current about the submarine fleet you they said two are in the sea and where are the rest of them, four or five, yes, if i am not mistaken, wash me, yes, they alternate among themselves, including and are, that is , basing, but lately they are to the point that the main point of basing is still the same as far as possible from the ukrainian species of ms. natalya a-a we want to ask something with a bone, we understand that we may not hear the answer to this questio

from 2010 contradicts the principles of national security, according to the agreement the russian black sea was to remain in sevastopol until 2042 , many experts believe that this scandalous agreement , which the russians unilaterally terminated order already after the annexation of crimea actually led to the occupation of the peninsula well, and about how the russian black sea fleet began to quarter in ukraine and what it is capable of now in the next material what are the russians capable of on the water, after all, after the destruction

denis, on the holiday, so let's start with the black sea security conference of the crimean platformest, just so that you can tell us the results for ukraine , for crimea, for the de-occupation of crimea. well, several factors should be noted here the fact that the black sea security forum was held within the framework of the initials of the crimean platform. at the same time, the representative office is responsible for the internal track of the crimean platform, that is, the national office of the ukrainian reform, it functions within the framework of the representative office, that is, as far as security is concerned, it is already a prerogative and is the ministry of foreign affairs itself . at the same time, it should be noted that this was a regular platform for the consolidation of efforts to support ukraine and the development of a joint strategy for the development of policies in the black sea region of ukraine demonstrated that crimea and the situation in crimea greatly affect the security of the situation in the black sea region, including food security, and this factor an

natalya, the water area of ​​our black sea remains littered with russian ships in one way or anothers today. glory to ukraine really passed the anniversary and supporting the words of the minister of defense, who in odessa once again reminded that the black sea fruit there are many more surprises waiting, eh, i will say that we continue our work in this direction, so it is not as easy and fast as we would like, but still , eh, if such a start is already marked, we continue. fleet ms. nataliya taras, there is currently an enemy ship group in the black sea, which consists of eight ships, they continue to maneuver in areas that are safe for themselves, they already have their own frogs, they do not lie down for a long time

this race and the finish will be the finish line of the black sea fleet, mrs. nataliya mai. currently , there is an enemy ship group in the black sea, which consists of eight ships, they continue to maneuver in such a missile that is safe for themselves, they already have such a frogman , they do not walk for a long time and do not try - do not try - dare to get closer to the shore and control ukraine e are pressing closer to novorossiysk, but unfortunately, from there they are still able to inflict missile damage, and now one is on duty. a submarine missile is equipped with four missiles of the caliber type. this is not as much as we are used to receiving from the e-e news feed, but it still means that four missiles are ready to hit at least four targets with a high-precision hit, therefore , ignore the systems of air warning signals. it is not possible. of the united coordination press center, the defense force of southern ukraine. so, in particular, it is about moving away from the enemy's line, well, moving the enemy away from the line of contact in order to ensure a dis

and of course we know that the reason is the mined area of ​​the black sea and possible attacks by thesians on infrastructure objects . will the locals have access to the sea in general? the rules are laid down as to how residents of odessa and guests of our city and our region will rest this year. there must be a rest in such places and i am sure they will be organized because there is experience from last year, but of course we can talk about this more concretely already after this order, this document will be signed, so i am sure that , first of all, in our military, their families, they are obliged to rest , there will be such places of rest, but again, these will be the relevant rules regarding access to the sea, which of course are mined area there is a threat in the water area itself, again, in view of security, appropriate measures will not be taken , of course, there will not be a mass exit to the sea, but those marine areas, let's say yes again, and do not forget that we have a very widespread registration where to rest is not only to sunbathe but not to take sea baths. so i

and the way this deal quickly turned from a black sea initiative into a black sea grain initiative andhumanitarian one, and the initiative turned into a commercial enterprise, also raises quite a few questions, about which we have not tired all this time, we have not tired of talking, what we are not tired of attract. uh, attention, uh, out of the total volume, which is the volume, which is the grain that passed from ukrainian ports , less than three percent ended up in really poor countries that are on the corresponding list of the world sales program, and even all the changes, afghanistan sudan search and somalia everything else more than 80 percent in countries with high or upper-middle incomes , and then there was an attempt by ukrainian colleagues within the framework of this activity in a joint coordination center in istanbul and arrange e. well, an artificial accumulation of courts and uh, even in the ukrainian press there was information that uh the ukrainian regime. uh, i took bribes so that they would not live, uh, without this kind of, uh, bribery mechanisms, we also drew at

in the black sea, the military department reported that militants had come from odessa the day beforelaunched surface drones, and this is not the only case of such launches by the russian military recorded in march. this is despite the fact that kiev promised the whole world not to use humanitarian corridors for military purposes. a criminal case was opened after the fall of an air ambulance helicopter in the volgograd region, as reported by the regional health committee, the car was returning according to preliminary data, according to preliminary data , there were no passengers on board at the base in the village of yerzovka. according to preliminary data, the pilot died , the causes of the emergency are being investigated. rails. the truck driver was injured, but survived, 18 wagons in the train received serious damage. so far , the american media give this news only with a photograph, apparently, apparently, it will follow in the near future. watch. a spokesman for the us department of defense said that the abrams tanks that were handed over to germany for training the ukrainian m

it is an absolutely correct question. without the black sea fleet, i was the last of the deputies who broke through to sevastopol in the 14th year. it was march 9-10, 2014. after me, no one here could get there. i visited the military units and your e with my own eyes, who started the occupation? that is, it is the russian military, the so-called green men, without their presence, not a single contingent group of bitterns would have succeeded in provoking the occupation, there would not have been such a physical possibility . so, the mistake was the ukrainian state , the state had to insist back in 1991 and achieve the withdrawal of the russian troops of the russian black sea fleet, as it was eventually done with the russian troops throughout the rest of the territory of ukraine, that is, let me remind you that all military units were announced ukrainians and who did not want to? who did they move there either individually or in parts even on the territory of the russian federation , unfortunately kravchuk made such an agreement with yeltsin back then in 1991, it was a tragic mistake

corridor with exports through the black sea ports, that ukraine would trade with the european unionuty-free and to lead into and through the european union into its agricultural products and these agricultural products primarily oilseeds it gushed overland corridors in the european union market. and it is natural that first of all it flooded into the neighboring countries, and the east, yes, that is, the eastern countries of the european union. and now we are witnessing the third stage, when there are so many ukrainian ukrainian products on the markets of these countries. e that it has already become a very serious systemic problem. e, which affects the whole the european union, but uh, the eastern countries of the european union with ukrainian neighbors, and they are forced to uh under uh pressures. e their farmers uh, take hastily take fire action. moreover, these fire measures are rather belated, because the problem did not form now, but it was already clear, around the fall of 2022. so here they are forced to fire order these countries. on an individual fire order to take uh, th

the first black sea security conference will start in bucharest. the event takes place within the framework of international activities the crimean platform of the mechanism aimed at the deoccupation of the peninsula and the restoration of security in the black sea region will be attended by the minister of foreign affairs and the minister of defense, the heads of international institutions, officials and independent experts , the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kulaba went to bucharest on the eve of scheduled meetings with the ministers of foreign affairs and defense of romania and moldova's security service of ukraine declared the wife of viktor medvedchuk and former tv presenter oksana marchenko wanted for this is evidenced by the data that appeared on the page of the ministry of internal affairs, a photo of oksana marchenko is posted here and it is indicated that she is wanted under the article of financing actions committed with the aim of violent change or overthrow of the constitutional order or seizure of state pow

and now e april 24 in violation given ukraine’s guarantees, repeated attacks on the base of the black sea in the city of sevastopol, an analysis of the route of movement of ukrainian uncrewed boats, it seemed that they were all launched from the water area of ​​​​odessa but just that was determined for the black sea initiative, their deployment was carried out in the area of ​​​​the internet corridor also involved in implementation. of the black sea initiative, well, as a result , the terrorist actions of the kiev regime jeopardize another extension grain deal after may 18 in mariupol , marat was husked, he checked. as the president's order to restore new regions is being fulfilled, the vice-premier visited the azov and mariupol universities in the new academic year. they will take 10,000 students to the conditions . talked to the locals about the restoration of the region. we have a task - this is a program for the socio-economic development of the region, where we do not just have to look separately. what house is built there? what street was built? or which object is behind the axis, a

presence in the black sea , how much longer do you think it will be dangerous , taking into account llution and sea mines that russia has caused there? well, of course , this is a question first of all. i can hunt for this direct line that exists and existed, for example, from march of last year, then i will remind you that one document that we have filled out. they are confirmed, in particular , the captain of the sochi port spoke about it, it was 420 mines - this is only the information that the captain of the sochi port possessed, i will remind you that it is possible of them and more, how many of them exploded there, we also have a certain number of them. it is clear, but nevertheless, there are no key conditions of the map of equal policies, so-called work of ukrainian specialists, thank god, i will remind you of the netherlands and hungary, they give us two minesweepers that's what today i'm sure that they will be what will be used in this demining program of course it won't be one week of course i think it won't even be one month ago the work is still here enough and these min

rest on the coast only in pools and dangerous distances from about the safety of the sea at the black sea and the consequences of the attack on odesa in a moment my colleagues yuliya halushka and oleg biletskyi will talk about the next issue 6:30 faith gives us strength and we believe that spring will defeat the son , light will defeat darkness, unity will prevail , justice will prevail in the armed forces of ukraine the gates of life will win death life will win a year ago russia unleashed a great war in ukraine, as for hundreds of ukrainian athletes, for me the choice was obvious to compete for the victory of my native country on the front line instead of the tennis court trenches instead of rackets in hands weapons instead of ubledon to a hotter point indomitable bakhmut instead of russian belarusian athletes support russia's aggression against ukraine keep silent and continue to compete in a neutral status and provide itp wt - this is a shameful decision amok generally considers the admission of these athletes to the olympics under a neutral flag however, we all know that he is direct

sailors brought the matter to an end how was the brilliant operation to destroy the flag on the black seailes of the neptune complex become a surprise for the aggressor our odesa correspondent restored the chronology of the event and learned how the sinking of moscow changed the theater of war march 2022 russian occupiers are so confident that they control the northwestern part of the black sea seas that enemy ships are approaching our coast and shelling odessa with barrel artillery, where does such arrogance come from, experts explain the russians believed that in the first days of the full-scale invasion , they destroyed the main threat to their fleet , the neptune anti-ship complex, on the surface of the black sea, they tried to strike the armed forces with the help of jet systems salvo fire is not the most effective means, but it showed that we do not have a ship-based missile complex, but neptune just patiently waited for a weighty target like for example, the flagship of the black sea fleet, the cruiser moscow, 200 m long, a lot of weapons, the function of air defense for russian sh

surveillance drone over the black sea. it lets russia and the entire world know that the united states house of representatives stands strongly together in condemning the actions of the pilot that downed the u.s. surveillance drone. it says unequivocally that the united states of america will stand and stand together and working together with our friends and allies against the provocative and i believe criminal actions of putin. with that, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york yields. the gentleman from florida is recognized. mr. mast: mr. speaker, i yield myself the remainder of my time. in closing, i want to thank the gentleman from new york, mr. williams, for introducing this important resolution. i believe that this chamber has to stand firmly against russian aggression. i believe very firmly that the united states of america has to have big, giant brass stones. if our aggressors show that they have bigger brass stones than what we do, then we will not be the leader o
