The National Security Council (click here) says that Russia is attempting a "false flag operation" to "justify any attacks against civilian ships in the Black Sea and to then blame them on Ukraine."
The declaration comes days after Russia backed out of a deal that helped move grain from Ukrainian ports, threatening global food supply.
NSC spokesperson John Kirby told reporters in a briefing Thursday afternoon that Russia may try to expand its targets in the Black Sea to attacks on civilian ships that are transporting grain and food.
"Russia has already announced publicly that all ships proceeding to Ukrainian ports in Black Sea waters will be considered potential carriers of military cargo, even though they are simply trying to pick up grain and food to be able to feed people around the world," Kirby said....
There are a lot of countries along the Black Sea; Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey and Georgia. Moldova is near the Black Sea but has no direct water fronts with it. Putin will sink ships in order to begin a larger war while blaming Ukraine. He is a sincere global problem.
