Russia: No reaction to U.S. ships in Black Sea

MOSCOW (AP) - The Russian Foreign Ministry says Russia plans no military actions in response to the increased presence of U.S. ships in the Black Sea.

Foreign Ministry official Andrei Nesterenko made the comments Friday just before the flagship of the U.S. Navy's Mediterranean fleet arrived in the key Georgian port of Poti.

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin earlier had openly questioned the presence of NATO and US ships and pledged an unspecified response. Nesterenko says international treaties regulate the presence of naval ships in the Black Sea.
