As the Kremlin and United States continue to play the blame game over a downed US drone, Ukraine's foreign minister warns more incidents like this may continue to happen with a Russian-controlled Crimea.
His comments came after White House spokesman John Kirby told CNN that US officials had told Russian ambassador Anatoly Antonov, Russia needed to show more caution.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba doesn't want Western nations to back down in the wake of what he called a "routine incident" over the Black Sea. While the US remained firm on the issue the Kremlin also did and maintained its stance that the incident was the fault of the US, but said despite worsening relations it was open to dialogue with the United States.
Sergei Naryshkin, head of Russia's SVR foreign intelligence service, told Russian reporter Pavel Zarubin that the United States was "very active" in space, visual and radio reconnaissance in the region.
