Russia races to retrieve remains of US military drone from Black Sea, but Washington says it has managed to protect sensitive information and 'whatever was of value is no longer of value'
General Mark Milley, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, told journalists that any recovery effort would be difficult, as the drone likely broke up and sank in an area where the water is 1,200-1,500 metres deep.
Russia said it had scrambled jets after detecting a US drone over the Black Sea, but denied causing the crash, saying the aircraft had lost control. Ukraine said the incident was "provoked by Russia" and cautioned that it signalled President Vladimir Putin's aim to "expand the conflict". A Western military source, speaking to AFP news agency on condition of anonymity, said diplomatic channels between Russia and the United States could help limit any fallout.
