of the collision of russian fighter jets with an american drone over the black sea, how it happened, what the consequences will be, several countries want to convey mig-29 fighter jets to ukraine, poland declares this , will these planes meet the needs of the ukrainian army, or is russia increasing its influence in serbia, we will show a special bbc report from belgrade about the confrontation between the usa and russia over the black sea version the pentagon, russian fighter jets tried to intercept and damaged an american drone in international airspace - this is important and russia convinces simply raised its planes and the drone fell by itself, here is this mq9 ripper drone, quite large in size, length 11 m, wingspan over 20 m, cost approximately 30 million dollars the united states uses such drones to collect

intelligence, monitor ritual operations for strikes , the drone is controlled remotely, and as stated by us representatives, when russian fighter jets began dropping fuel on the drone, they engaged the drone then the device was remotely planted, in general, this is the first such incident between the usa and russia since the beginning of the full-scale war in ukraine, the first that was announced publicly, so it is important what the reaction is, and i suggest you see what the first statements were about the american q9 drones and two russian fighter jets, and according to the pentagon, their meeting lasted for about 40 minutes in international airspace, the incident occurred over the black sea on american reconnaissance aircraft regularly flying since the beginning of the full-scale war pentagon claims that one of the russian fighters took off right in front of the drone and it eventually fell into the sea, contact with it was completely lost. we continue to evaluate what happened, but i think that from the perspective of nadiya

the russian pilots, everything was dangerous and unprofessional, i think these actions speak for themselves we saw that the fighter jets dumped fuel just in front of the drone, and then they flew so close that they damaged the mq9 propeller , according to our estimates, the russian plane also probably damaged the russian ambassador in the usa he called the presence of the drone a provocation, he stated that the transmitter of the drone, which allows you to avoid collisions in the air, was turned off and the device itself violated what the kremlin calls the temporary air regime, which was in effect when russia attacked ukraine, in the usa they assure that the russian pilots acted recklessly but did they shoot down the drone by mistake was it intentional this incident may increase the tension between moscow and washington trying to speak diplomatically but obviously if you fly in front of a drone slow down

and dump fuel on it then it is undeniable is a deliberate attempt to shoot down a drone, the pentagon said that such an incident does not happen for the first time, but this seems to be the worst of all, the first time the russians tried to shoot down a drone and not just interfere with it, so for now i would call it a serious escalation, this is the first open confrontation between the usa and russia since since the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine, so far everything has been limited to a war of words, but it is difficult to predict what the further consequences will be, and according to the transformed statement, this is already such an indirect response of the nato countries, so british and german fighter jets jointly intercepted for the first time a russian plane near the airspace of estonia, according to the bbc, two typhoon fighters of britain and germany intercepted a military transport plane il-78 and then an an-148 plane arrived together for the first time and my colleague zhanna bezpidchuk

is joining us from kyiv so zhanna about the black sea incident we heard statements of the united states about dangerous actions of russia , statements of russia that this is a provocation. authorities on this incident in the international airspace over the black sea, it was voiced by the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, in an interview with the bbc, he said the following that, in his opinion, such incidents are inevitable as long as crimea is illegally occupied by russia and the black sea itself will be dangerous and it is worth adding to this that today for ukraine this airspace on the black sea , in particular the international airspace near the crimea, is of great strategic importance, because in particular

russian missiles fly into ukraine from this direction and then i suggest listening to the direct speech of dmitry kuleb controls crimea while russia controls crimea such incidents cannot be avoided and the black sea will not be a safe place the only way to prevent such incidents is to expel russia from crimea because of this incident no i think this is just an ordinary case that happens from time to time, can he make the west more cautious because the americans may think that it is really worth avoiding that such things get out of control west vans show what if the west wants to show his weakness, he really should be careful in responding to similar cases, but i do not think that the world capitals are currently planning such a mood, so they are determined not

to escalate the situation, but definitely not to succumb to physical or verbal pressure from russia. not to give in to this pressure, which is also worth understanding that this is a typical intelligence activity of any nato countries and others in international airspace, in particular with the help of drones and the actions of the american military in their aircraft the apparatus complies with international law. well, zhanna, it is important for ukraine what the consequences of this incident over the black sea will be, because western countries provide not only weapons , but also intelligence data about it, they officially report how it will affect the transfer of these intelligences, so ukraine today really depends on e intelligence of data received

from western partners, since there are still no own early warning systems for air attacks and missile launches, and ukraine does not yet have such drones as are used by the united states of america in international airspace and what is important to understand about otaki unmanned e-e aerial vehicles that they are very effective for collecting a large volume of intelligence data both operational and tactical here and now and in the future because they do not endanger human life because they are not piloted by a person and only by the operator e-e remotely, and in addition, they can be in the air space for many hours in a row from 9-10 to 27 hours, specifically, the reaper can be e-e in the air in the sky, and these devices

are modern, they have a wide range capabilities how can they be used, but at the same time they cost plus or minus half as much as the latest fighter jets? of course, this is a profitable and effective way out zhanna and one more topic is important and related to airplanes. yes, poland declares that several western countries are ready to transfer airplanes to ukraine. -29 the spokesman of the polish government said about this. however, he did not say which countries, it is known that slovakia is considering such a possibility, and on the eve of the polish prime minister metaloshurovetskyi said that his country could soon send its mig-29 to ukraine within a month and a half. here that's how he outlined the mig-29 cnf 16 that the ukrainian authorities persistently ask for, but how these media can strengthen ukrainian defense and in general it is expected that part of these myths will be used as spare parts for those myths that ukraine already has and uses

to protect its skies. this is the first moment, second moment, what is known about these planes that will be transferred, we do not know their accuracy, but those in slovakia are no longer suitable for combat operations, at least according to information from open sources, those in poland there is a different situation there, there are two quadrilles with a total of 32 aircraft. again, such data are available with an open source, and of these two squadrons, one is modernized in practice, which means that these aircraft can hypothetically be used directly in hostilities, but in reality the balance of forces in airspace between russia and ukraine, the provision of these still old soviet planes will not change thanks zhanna bbc correspondent zhanna bezpidchuk from kyiv and regarding the incident over the black sea, the

united states secretary of defense said that the usa will continue to fly and will act where it is allowed under the international law of loyality. he said that russian pilots in international airspace act aggressively and dangerously. this was a manifestation of such behavior. the head of the pantheon made a statement during the meeting of the contact group on the defense of ukraine . minister of defense reznikov said that the results of this meeting were optimistic, and he said that he had discussed the incidents with the russian minister of defense shigu, as well . the ministry of defense of russia informed about this was this confrontation intentional? yes, the former us deputy defense minister lawrence korb does not rule out that the russians did this to deliberately provoke an incident near the annexed crimea . this is a very unusual case, although sometimes it happens that planes from different countries, such as from the united states of russia, which have long been traditional competitors, make flights. side round to send a message i mean what

did the russians do when the ripper drone started approaching the territory with which they started their invasion of ukraine the question is therefore, were they ordered to resort to such actions as dumping fuel on the drone or hitting its propellers? i do not rule out that the russians made such a decision at this very time . taking into account what is happening in ukraine, what would provoke an incident that would give the united states the opportunity to send its own aircraft to the war in ukraine, i guess the real question is what will happen the next time the americans send another manned aircraft there, what will the russians do then rear admiral john kirby said that there were many interceptions about a rather long time, so i suspect that we will send another reaper, as was previously planned, to see what will happen. if nothing happens, then it will simply be written off as the fact that such things are said to happen. you can

remember how at one time under the former administration , chinese and american planes collided. it was an american plane . -observation and the chinese tried to follow him i remember in my days that there in the sky you move extremely fast and the slightest mistake can cause an accident the united states will make it clear that if this the beginning of a new model will have serious consequences. in my opinion, this is the main message sent to the russians. the russians, as always, claim that this is just a coincidence, that no one really had anything in mind . quite restrained statements we started with american officials here is whether this tone will be maintained and will be limited to warnings about russia evgenia congratulations well

let's start with the latest news minister of defense charloid austin as you said , i spoke with the minister of defense of the russian federation about the interception of the mq9 drone by russian fighter jets over the black sea . international e law, this was a quote the day before, the guest condemned the action of the russian federation, speaking at the opening of a virtual meeting of the contact group on the defense of ukraine, and a month after rammstein in in brussels, the partners held negotiations again, but in a remote mode, the state department, in turn, called the russian ambassador antonov, who was told that moscow should be careful when flying in international airspace

. according to public comments about this. well, loydostein assures that the activities of the united states in international airspace will not be affected by this incident, that is, and what intelligence ukraine receives as the media reports about it, it will not affect us either, we can make such an assumption . for example, the representative of the us national security council, john kirby, said that the black sea does not belong to any nation. the us will continue to do what is necessary for its own interests, e. of partners in this part of the world, this is how he answered the question of the voice of america in moscow. they say that washington allegedly conducted surveillance near russian airspace to help ukraine in kyiv. as you said state that this incident is the first known direct confrontation between russia since the start of the russian federation's full-scale invasion of ukraine last

year . and act wherever it is allowed by international law. well, what is interesting is whether they will try to get the drone from the black sea , so kirby stated that they are evaluating the possibility of this to do in russia, they have already said that they will try to find a drone , although they are also not sure whether it will be possible to do it. but in principle, the americans will not be happy if their reconnaissance drone falls into the hands of the russians. in general, it is really possible to get a drone, well, literally, general mark milley just announced that uh the remains of this drone are the property of the united states and indeed john kirby stated that the reconnaissance drone was not found, which is not surprising given the depth of the black sea in the area of ​​​​the fall and

the day before he noted that the collision of russian planes and drones is apparently not uncommon even in recent weeks. he said there were other interceptions, but this one deserves attention because of how dangerous it was unprofessional. in turn , the kremlin called on the united states to stop hostile activities near its borders. the wreckage of an american drone that really fell into the black sea, and russia at the same time denies that its planes came into contact with the drone , we said that the united states is entirely to blame america, accusing them of certain provocations. thank you, the correspondent of the russian service of the voice of america in the white house, mykhailo komedovsky, and finally, what friends does russia have in europe? you say hungary, yes, but i am still serbia. the only country in europe that has not imposed sanctions against russia. the invasion of ukraine did not change this, as reported by pvk wagner, there is recruiting mercenaries

for the war in ukraine, in general, sympathy for the kremlin in belgrade , pro-russian graffiti is visible on the walls, among souvenirs, t-shirts cups with the image of putin and now with a letter with a symbol of russian aggression serbia is a long-time ally of russia and the country has close political economic religious ties, but is russia now increasing its influence in serbia and is it trying to destabilize the country bbc new correspondent knows the beekeeper tried it find out strange things are happening in serbia the shadow that covers this balkan state rumors that the wagner group is recruiting mercenaries russian propaganda is spreading a symbol of war they are sold as souvenirs and many people buy them

we sell this t-shirt the most and this one out of everything here , these two are wonderful, wonderful, and so everywhere green and golden domes rising against the background of rural landscapes are physical monuments of russian influence, here they say they are putin's church and in the middle there is a double-headed eagle the russian flag and for sale for less than a dollar keychains with the letter z , a symbol of the russian invasion of ukraine, this breath of war is felt not only on souvenirs, but also in the apartment of yuriy and maria he fled with russia she is from ukraine because of the war

but in belgrade she caught up with them. i am sure that these two liters were painted by our neighbors because one of them asked where we are from. in a week , the neighbors rang the doorbell and accused them of making noise. styles and that's why i started filming this video because it's definitely not normal i'm not touching her man don't touch maria called the police but she was arrested and accused of violating public order, she shows us the beatings she says she received that night and this is not the only time when a couple was attacked in december four men hit yuri and took his anti-war flag later they published this photo in front of a mural dedicated to wagner's group this is one of the men who attacked me so i still remember

you know i remember his shoes, which is interesting, as yuri and maria tell, the people who attacked them were not russians, they were local , the real war for hearts and minds is unfolding now on the streets of belgrade, the forces that collided, both internal and external , there is no doubt that the russian influence on the serbian society is intensifying its influence on people and politics, but where does it come from? is it a legitimate interest ? is it political interference ? russia and the man he calls tsar putin

absolutely in 2015, this devotion led him to a war that was not his war, he refuses to talk about what he did then in ukraine and was put in prison when he returned to serbia, the country, what can you say? ukraine , ukraine is russia, the ukrainian people are the russian people. if i could, i would go. just now to help the russian brothers. you say that ukrainians are fascists, but for many people in the world, vladimir putin and russians are fascists. freedom of russia freed the whole of europe from fascism and nazism, russia is a holy land, this is an extreme example of a broader phenomenon of belief in a common history that creates the united present, but there is another story that this graffiti can tell, not of love for russia, but of hatred for the west, eh, this building was

damaged during the nato bombing it was the headquarters of serbian radio and television 1999 nato started bombing to stop the genocidal actions of the yugoslav forces in kosovo it stopped the deaths but many serbs have not forgiven it and still this is not support for russia against ukraine it is support for russia against nato and the west what bombed our country, russia , for its part, has never attacked serbia in history and has done nothing bad to the serbian people, but this opinion is not shared by the rack , he believes that his country is under attack, and you swearing way is like letting a drug dealer in to children and not doing anything about it russia political sense here drug dealer russians kept their agents here kept money here they conducted huge operations with special services forces they started buying the media many of these accusations are difficult

to verify but there is one area that we can check so one of the main accusations against the tabloids is what they accepted about the moscow side and here are some examples in the publications of the period of the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine, some stories are very interesting zelensky america betrayed us with reference to his speech that he gave on february 25, we rewatched it, this is absolutely not what he said, this is another cowards from the west are fleeing ukraine, this is the second day of the invasion . this story, in the opinion of the publication, is the most important story that should have been told readers and here is another headline the first column is two days before the start of the invasion and it says ukraine attacked russia we stand behind serbia behind serbia i can say yes we contacted

several species only in one of us agreed to talk to this publication, serbian telegraph, whose newspaper on the second day of the war focused on western cowards who fled rather than those who were invaded directly , here they say now this would not happen every time we write materials about ukraine we call it russian aggression against ukraine, not a war, not a special operation, aggression ukraine is your policy that changed during the war. the war changed our policy. everyone sees that russia attacked independent ukraine. here you have a face that often appears of the former president trump is one of the most favorite presidents of the serbs. he goes on to a topic that comes up again and again. why is kosovo so important to us? statehood actually started with kosovo. it's like a wound that you scratch every day because it comes down to kosovo. it's our

territory for a thousand years and someone comes there and says this is our male fear of a possible genocide of kosovo led to the nato bombing and the independence of kosovo fuels anger in serbia in this context vlad sells t-shirts with z and mugs with putin it is a war between by russia and america and we give our support to this guy because we remember the bombing christopher gill the american ambassador he has been working with the balkans for a decade i spoke to the government souvenir dealer this morning he was selling t-shirts with zed or putin on the bear or mugs with putin i asked him why are you selling this his answer was not because we love putin his answer was because he is against america i don't think i can change vlad's mind but i think many serbs have realized that actually

the usa is on their side without a doubt the bombing from the side of nato, what happened in 1999, for many it seems like it was yesterday , but look at how they are happy about american investments here . look at how involved serbs are in american culture, american sports , you know. i think you will see among the serbs an understanding that america is a friend, future relations with kosovo has recently seen protests outside the parliament and fighting inside, this political turbulence leads us to a final theory about russian influence, the serbian government is using it as an argument during negotiations if the west is afraid of russia and the local leaders will convince the west that they are the only ones who can keep the level of russian influence in the country at an acceptable level , then they can get the political support

necessary for the survival of their regimes here. who we spoke to told us their influence does not go beyond a few graffiti and connections with marginal groups and then when we left the president of kosovo made an extraordinary statement that they were handing over weapons and uniforms for capture lands as it happened in the crimea, a few days later, the ultra-right forces of their leader demy na knizovych came out on the streets of belgrade, they were seen at wagner's headquarters in st. petersburg , the serbian president replied that he did not need wagner's advice on the kosovo issue, calling the protesters anti-serbian, several people were those arrested found a sniper rifle in one of them. events are moving in an increasingly unpredictable direction, and today the only thing we can be sure of is that

russian influence in serbia is growing, and this same you can watch a special bbc report on the echoes of the war, how serbia became a quiet haven for pro-russian forces, on our youtube channel, bbc news ukraine, spread it, leave comments under this article. if you are interested and read more news on our website bbc.ua , i will say goodbye to you, see you tomorrow there are moments when the body quickly loses fluid, which can lead to dehydration, when ordinary water is not enough, i'm saving myself, water for special medical purposes
