and it was a success, the chief of the Black Sea Fleet’s staff,
Vice-Admiral Alexander Nosatov, has told the media.
"The first phase of the exercise is over. The ships are getting

been agreed, everything proceeds according to the original schedule.
I am certain that the second phase will be successful, too, and will
be of importance to practising joint operations," Nosatov said.
