Russia deploys warships near Crimea for Ukrainian missile tests - RIA


KIEV/MOSCOW (Reuters) - Ukraine's military said its two-day missile drill starting on Thursday would avoid the airspace over Crimea, sidestepping a possible confrontation with Russia which annexed the peninsula in 2014.

News of the tests had angered the Kremlin, prompting it to put its air defence forces on high alert and manoeuvre warships in the Black Sea.
