The US military has released a new video about a “routine encounter” of a Russian warplane and a US destroyer in the Black Sea.

An analyst says measures taken by Washington and NATO against Russia will start another world war.

The Russian military deployed jets to ward off a US destroyer in the Black Sea after it was found heading into Russia’s territorial waters.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has hailed his country’s actions in the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea in 2014. Putin says Russia’s decisive and timely actions were meant to prevent a conflict in Crimea similar to the one that followed later in eastern Ukraine. Crimea rejoined the Russian federation after breaking away from Ukraine last year. An overwhelming majority of Crimeans voted in a March 16 referendum in support of the move. But this angered both Ukraine and its Western allies especially NATO, which has ever since increased its military presence in the region. Meanwhile, Russia has reportedly started military exercises in Crimea and Georgia's breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The drills are a tit-for-tat move after the military alliance recently launched yet another naval drill in Eastern Europe.
