USS Truxtun Goes Near Ukraine As The Russian Black Sea Fleet Sinks A Ship

The USS Truxtun and the USS Taylor will be the only two ships in the US Navy close to the Russian Black Sea fleet, but why is the ship being positioned so close to Ukraine in the first place?

In a related report by The Inquisitr, a former Ukrainian president is warning that World War 3 might be around the corner if Russia does not back down from flaunting its nuclear missile arsenal. The situation in the Crimea has also become very tense on the high seas ever since the Russian Black Sea fleet used megaphones to an ultimatum for Ukraine’s military forces in the area.

Fortunately, the ultimatum did not lead to open fighting, but the Russian Black Sea fleet did sink a ship… just not one of its own. The Russian anti-submarine warship Ochakov was scuttled on purpose in order to prevent Ukrainian navy ships from going out to sea from a nearby base. The sunken ship lies at the mouth of the bay, which is also guarded by 10 Russian warships.
