MOSCOW. June 15 (Interfax) - The Kremlin has referred reporters to the Russian Defense Ministry's denial of high alert of the Black Sea Fleet.
"There is no need for the Kremlin's commentary, considering the rather brief but ample comment by the Defense Ministry. We are referring you to it," presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday.
Reporters asked Peskov to comment on information that the Russian Black Sea Fleet had been put on high alert to counter possible provocations of Ukraine during the FIFA World Cup 2018.
The Russian Defense Ministry denied relevant reports of certain British media outlets on Thursday.
