Russian warships joined forces with Chinese navy during the NATO summit.
The Kremlin sent two warships groups to link up with China in Asian waters this week, a muscle flex aimed at NATO leaders meeting in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to drum up Western support for Ukraine against Russia's invasion.The Steregushchiy-class corvettes Rezkiy and Gromkiy left Russia's Far East port of Vladivostok to carry out 'assigned tasks in the Asia-Pacific region,' the country's state news agency Tass said on Monday, citing the Russian Pacific Fleet.
The group sailed through the Osumi Strait south of Japan's main island of Kyushu before entering the wider Pacific, according to the Joint Staff.The intensive maneuvers, which the Chinese side has yet to formally acknowledge, come as U.S. President Joe Biden hosts NATO leaders gathering in Washington, D.C., for the alliance's annual summit from July 9-11.
