Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said that the Sea Breeze 2021 international naval exercise will take place in compliance with international law.
"Since it began in 1997, Sea Breeze brings Black Sea nations and NATO allies and partners together to train and operate in the pursuit of building increased interoperability and capability," he stressed.
According to Kirby, its participants will continue to be transparent about their operations in the Black Sea, and as always, will continue to operate within all applicable international laws and agreements.
The exercise will take place from June 28 to July 10 in the Black Sea region.
