When it detected it, the ship then used the “appropriate means” to force the American submarine “to leave Russian territorial waters at full speed”explained the entity about the operation carried out by the Navy.

“In connection with the violation by a US Navy submarine of the state border of the Russian Federation, the military attaché of the US embassy in Moscow was summoned to the Russian Ministry of Defense,” the ministry said.

Upon hearing this statement, Captain Kyle Raines, a US military spokesman, went to the crossroads to dismiss that version and stated bluntly: “Russian statements about our operations in their territorial waters are not true.”

“I am not going to comment on the precise location of our submarines, but we fly, navigate and operate safely in international waters.”added the official in a press release.

The event generated more controversy because it happened a few hours before a telephone conversation between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden to try to defuse tensions around Ukraine.

“President Biden spoke with President Vladimir Putin today to make it clear that if Russia continues to invade Ukraine, the US and our allies will impose swift and severe costs on Russia. President Biden urged President Putin to engage in de-escalation and diplomacy in place,” the White House said.
