The two ministers discussed the collision between the Russian fighter jet and the American drone that occurred yesterday in the Black Sea.

Earlier today, the Russian ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, called on the United States to stop “hostile” overflights near the Russian border, according to AFP.

– We know that the interception was intentional. We know that the aggressive behavior was intentional. We also know that it was very unprofessional and very unsafe. The actual contact between the Russian fighter jet and our drone, the physical contact between the two, is not certain yet, he says, adding:

– It remains to be seen.
