Russian president warns Biden over MQ-9 Reaper spy drone; U.S. says it will fly...

The regime of Vladimir Putin in Russia has blasted the United States over the drone battle. Sergei Shoigu, the Russian defense minister, claimed that the drone mishap over the Black Sea was caused by Washington's "enhanced" eavesdropping on Moscow. Putin forewarned that Moscow will retaliate to any upcoming American provocations appropriately. A "defiant" Washington, though, asserted that they would continue to fly anywhere permitted by international law.

Since President Vladimir Putin committed soldiers to Ukraine in February 2022, there has not been a similar crisis between Moscow and Washington before the drone mishap on March 14.

According to a statement from the defence ministry, on Wednesday, Sergei Shoigu, the Russian defense minister, explained to US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin that the incident was caused by "increased intelligence activities against the interests of the Russian Federation" and "non-compliance with the restricted flight zone" Moscow proclaimed as a result of its campaign in Ukraine.

The ministry in Moscow also issued a warning that it will respond "proportionately" to any upcoming "provocations" from the US.
