Among the tasks of the "Ocean-2024" exercises is the verification of the Navy's ability to use high-precision weapons and the latest types of weapons, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported.
At the first stage of the exercises, it is envisaged to deploy groups of naval forces in designated areas for combat training.
The second stage will include "combat operations" to destroy strategic objects and forces of a conditional enemy, conduct amphibious operations, and protect objects of maritime economic activity, the department noted.
The Ministry of Defense also reported that Russia's partner states have been invited to participate in the Ocean 2024 exercises.
As reported by rosZMI with reference to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, warships of the Chinese Navy will join the exercises — a total of four warships and a supply vessel from the PRC.
China's attitude towards the Russian Federation's war against Ukraine
Beijing does not call the Russian invasion and hostilities on the territory of Ukraine a war. Its representatives use other synonyms.
Most often, China calls the war the "Ukrainian crisis" or "conflict."
Officials have been talking about the need for negotiations for two and a half years. At the same time, they ignored the Global Peace Summit according to the Ukrainian formula.
China offers to hold negotiations that both sides will agree to. The Russian Federation insists on its ultimatums and is not going to end the war in Ukraine.
