He added that U.S. State Department officials would be speaking directly with their Russian counterparts and \u201cexpressing our concerns over this unsafe and unprofessional intercept.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>State Department spokesman Ned Price called it a \u201cbrazen violation of international law.\u201d He said the U.S. summoned the Russian ambassador to lodge a protest and the U.S. ambassador to Russia, Lynne Tracy, has made similar representations in Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. European Command said in a statement that two Russian Su-27 fighter jets \u201cconducted an unsafe and unprofessional intercept\u201d of a U.S. MQ-9 drone that was operating within international airspace over the Black Sea.<\/p>\n<p>It said one of the Russian fighters \u201cstruck the propeller of the MQ-9, causing U.S. forces to have to bring the MQ-9 down in international waters.\u201d Prior to that, the Su-27s dumped fuel on and flew in front of the MQ-9 several times before the collision in \u201ca reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner,\u201d the U.S. European Command said in a statement from Stuttgart, Germany.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis incident demonstrates a lack of competence in addition to being unsafe and unprofessional,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Air Force Gen. James B. Hecker, commander of U.S. Air Forces Europe and Air Forces Africa, said the MQ-9 aircraft was &#8220;conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and hit by a Russian aircraft, resulting in a crash and complete loss of the MQ-9.\u201d He added that \u201cin fact, this unsafe and unprofessional act by the Russians nearly caused both aircraft to crash.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Russia&#8217;s Defense Ministry said the U.S. drone was flying near its borders and intruded in the area that was declared off limits by Russia, causing the military to scramble fighters to intercept it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a result of sharp maneuver, the U.S. drone went into uncontrollable flight with a loss of altitude&#8221; and fell into the water, it said.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow has repeatedly voiced concern about U.S. intelligence flights close to the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia illegally annexed from Ukraine in 2014. The Kremlin has charged that by providing weapons to Ukraine and sharing intelligence information with Kyiv, the U.S. and its allies have effectively become engaged in the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Kirby emphasized that the incident wouldn\u2019t deter the U.S. from continuing their missions in the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cif the message is that they want to deter or dissuade us from flying, and operating in international airspace, over the Black Sea, then that message will fail,\u201d Kirby said, adding \u201cthat is not going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to continue to fly and operate in international airspace over international waters,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Black Sea belongs to no one nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. European Command said the incident followed a pattern of dangerous actions by Russian pilots while interacting with U.S. and Allied aircraft over international airspace, including over the Black Sea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese aggressive actions by Russian aircrew are dangerous and could lead to miscalculation and unintended escalation,\u201d it warned.<\/p>\n<p>Gen. David Berger, commandant of the Marine Corps, said that this type of collision is his greatest concern, both in that area of Europe as well as in the Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProbably my biggest worry both there and in the Pacific is an aggressive Russia or China pilot or vessel captain, or something gets too close, doesn\u2019t realize where they are, and causes a collision,\u201d Berger said, in response to a question at a National Press Club event on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>He said that whether an incident is intentional or not, it forces nation\u2019s leaders to try and sort it out quickly from afar.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the continuing fighting in Ukraine, a Russian missile on Tuesday struck an apartment building in the center of Kramatorsk, killing at least one person and wounding nine others in one of Ukraine\u2019s major city strongholds in its eastern Donetsk region.<\/p>\n<p>The victims were among at least seven civilians killed and 30 wounded in 24 hours, Ukraine authorities said.<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy posted a video showing gaping holes in the fa\u00e7ade of the low-rise building that bore the brunt of the strike. The impact damaged nine apartment blocks, a kindergarten, a local bank branch and two cars, said regional Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRussian troops are striking residential buildings, schools and hospitals, leaving cities on fire and in ruins,\u201d Kyrylenko said.<\/p>\n<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking Tuesday during a meeting with workers at a helicopter factory in southern Siberia, once again cast the conflict in Ukraine as an existential one for Russia, charging that unlike the West \u2014 which, he said, is seeking to advance its geopolitical clout \u2014 it\u2019s fighting for its existence as a state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor us, it\u2019s not a geopolitical task,&#8221; Putin said, &#8220;it\u2019s the task of survival of Russian statehood and the creation of conditions for the future development of our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Russia had welcomed a Chinese peace proposal to end the fighting, but Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday that Kyiv\u2019s refusal to have talks leaves Moscow with only military options.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must achieve our goals,\u201d Peskov told reporters. \u201cGiven the current stance of the Kyiv regime, now it\u2019s only possible by military means.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Russian onslaught has focused on the devastated eastern city of Bakhmut where Kyiv&#8217;s troops have been fending off Russian attacks for seven months and which has become a symbol of Ukraine&#8217;s resistance, as well as a focal point of the war.<\/p>\n<p>Zelenskyy discussed the situation in Bakhmut with the top military brass and they were unanimous in their determination to face down the Russian onslaught, according to the presidential office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe defensive operation in (Bakhmut) is of paramount strategic importance to deterring the enemy. It is key for the stability of the defense of the entire frontline,\u201d Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>Lolita C.
