Spain is sending warships to the Black Sea to prevent Russian aggression

 

 Spain is sending its warships to join NATO's naval forces in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. In addition, in an attempt to prevent Russian aggression, it is considering sending military aircraft to Bulgaria, writes the American newspaper The Hill, citing Reuters.

One of the miners of the Spanish fleet is already on the way, and the frigate "Blas de Leso" will do it in three or four days, said the Spanish Minister of Defense Margarita Robles.

 "Russia cannot tell any country what to do, so NATO will defend and maintain the sovereignty of any country that can or wants to join NATO," the Spanish minister said. She added that Spain insisted on "extremely diplomatic methods" to resolve the conflict.

Ukraine is not a member of NATO, but wants to join the Alliance. Russia strongly opposes this. Meanwhile, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization rejects demands from Moscow, which is urging NATO to halt its eastward expansion. It is this pretext that the Kremlin is using to justify deploying forces along the Ukrainian border.
