> Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said attacks by the Kiev regime on Russian merchant vessels, tankers and ships flying foreign flags prompted retaliatory action by Moscow. He said Turkey has proposed measures for Black Sea security but substantive talks have not begun, and Russia sees no need to hurry over appointing ambassadors to Britain and France amid the absence of normal bilateral relations.
