MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the ministry's spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, the protest note handed to the attache emphasized that the low-altitude maneuvers by Ukrainian An-26 military transport plane endangered personnel and equipment at two Russian drilling platforms.
"The Russian side views these actions as provocative," Konashenkov said in a statement.
The Russian Black Sea Fleet said earlier on Wednesday that the Ukrainian military plane carried out two provocative approaches at extremely low altitude to Russia's Tavrida and Crimea-1 drilling platforms in the Black Sea.
