俄攻击机飞越美驱逐舰

The U.S. expressed concern over Russian military aircraft flying apparent simulated attack passes near a U.S. destroyer in the Baltic Sea over the course of two days this week.

The U.S. says two Russian attack aircraft flew around 20 passes near the USS Donald Cook while the ship was in international waters.

"There have been repeated incidents over the last year where the Russian military, including Russian military aircraft, have come close enough to each other - or have come close enough to other air and sea traffic - to raise serious safety concerns. And we continue to be concerned about this behavior," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.

The Donald Cook had just come from a port visit in Gdynia, Poland, when the flyovers occurred. It was headed out to sea with a Polish helicopter on board.

NATO has been asked to provide a permanent presence of battalion-sized deployments of allied troops in the Baltic States. Moscow denies any intention to attack the Baltic states.

美国说，两架俄罗斯攻击机在位于国际水域的美国驱逐舰唐纳德·库克号附近进行了约20次飞越。

白宫发言人欧内斯特说：“过去一年屡次发生这类事件，俄罗斯军方，包括俄罗斯军机，在行动中相隔距离过近，或在空中和海上过于靠近其它国家的海空运输，引发严重的安全问题，我们继续对这种行为表示关注。”

飞越事件发生时，唐纳德·库克号刚刚结束对波兰港口格丁尼亚的访问后驶离，当时船上停有一架波兰直升机。

北约一直被要求在波罗的海国家长期部署营级编制部队。莫斯科否认有任何攻击波罗的海国家的意图。
