The mission of a US drone in the Black Sea is revealed

Yuriy Ignat, a representative of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, told Radio Svoboda:

He was monitoring the air situation. The Black Sea is not Russia's internal sea, like the Sea of Azov, as they think it is. NATO countries and Turkey have access to the Black Sea and they can do what they want in the international airspace. Do Russians fly their bombers to UK shores? Do they fly their fighters to intercept them? A reconnaissance aircraft is here, it is scouting. It does what it was created to do. What kind of threat is there, from such a single UAV? There's not even much to comment on here.

Since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, the UAVs have been monitoring the line of demarcation with the ORDLO, Ignat added.

The Air Force spokesman noted that NATO drones in Europe also continue to carry out their tasks and monitor hostilities in Ukraine:

This drone and other UAVs, which in the Black Sea basin support their NATO allies, have been monitoring the line of demarcation in Ukraine with the ORDLO long before the full-scale invasion. These drones actually carry out their missions in the Black Sea on a daily basis, as well as monitoring the demarcation line and observing the silence regime as agreed with the Ukrainian side. As well as other functions.
