Money: the atypical actions of the Russian navy in the Mediterranean are causing panic in the West

kremlin.ru | Press Service of the President of RussiaThe West is concerned about the presence of Russian Navy warships in the Mediterranean and their non-standard maneuvers. This opinion was shared by the Italian journalist Luna Luciano.In an article for Money, she noted that the activities of the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean have increased so much that such activity did not even exist during the Cold War. And this fact discourages NATO, reports PoliticsRussia .”The presence of the Moscow fleet in the Mediterranean should not be underestimated”, is convinced the analyst of the Italian publication.Luciano cites Italian Navy Chief of Staff Enrico Credendino, who admitted that Russian Navy ships have begun to sail much more frequently in the Mediterranean. According to him, the Russian fleet was previously active only in the Baltic Sea, so its presence in the Mediterranean Sea is worrying.Despite the fact that the number of Russian ships in the region is small enough to pose a threat to NATO countries, they should not be ignored, says Luciano. These are alarming signals for Italy and the whole of the European Union. There is no doubt that the presence of the Russian ships has caused tension, “but we must not give in to panic”, summarizes Luciano.
