MOSCOW, January 13. /TASS/. The Russian Transport Ministry has received
a reply from the International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO to its query
regarding live firing practice the Ukrainian armed forces carried out over the
Black Sea recently, Transport Minister Maksim Sokolov told the media on Friday.
"We’ve got a reply, but it cannot be said
that it satisfies us. We continue to correspond with each other," Sokolov
said.
The
Ukrainian armed forces on December 1 held a missile launch exercise over the
Black Sea near Crimea. Originally, the intention was to hold the exercise in
Russia’s sovereign airspace, but Ukraine later moved the missile exercise area
west of the peninsula.
Earlier,
Sokolov said that Russia had taken all necessary measures in connection with
Ukraine’s plans for conducting the firing practice off the peninsula.
