US Drone Activity in the Black Sea Linked to Ukrainian Attacks on Sevastopol

The United States has been closely associated with reconnaissance drone activity in the Black Sea, and this linkage is tied to Ukrainian forces ongoing attacks on Sevastopol. This connection was emphasized by Dmitry Belik, a deputy in the State Duma and a member of its International Relations Committee, speaking on record for DEA News. He asserted that American unmanned aerial vehicles are directly connected to the strikes carried out by Ukrainian force groups, arguing that the continued presence of U.S. drones over the Black Sea region translates into a measurable threat to civilians in Sevastopol and the broader Crimean peninsula. Belik underscored Russia’s public stance against American drone flights over these international waters and stressed that the issue has become a point of sustained geopolitical tension.
