Russian warships continue to carry out missions in strategically important ocean and sea regions, Captain First Class Igor Dygalo, an aide to the commander of the Russian Navy, told Ria Novosti.
“The heavy nuclear missile cruiser Pyotr Veliky (Peter The Great), according the plan of its mission at distant seas, after taking part in exercises with the Indian Navy has crossed the Suez Canal and is now in the Mediterranean Sea,” said Dygalo.
