Russian Warships: Moscow Continues to Send in Fleets to Counter U.S. Amid Syrian Tensions (Video)

Three Russian warships crossed Turkey's Bosphorus Strait on Thursday en route to the eastern Mediterranean, near the Syrian coast, Reuters reported. Russians say they are concerned about potential US-led strikes in response to the Damascus regime's alleged use of chemical weapons, and are seeking to block their intentions.

The SSV-201 intelligence ship Priazovye, accompanied by the two landing ships Minsk and Novocherkassk, passed through the Bosphorus, known as the Istanbul strait that separates Asia from Europe.

Russia has kept a constant presence of around four warships in the eastern Mediterranean in the Syrian crisis, Reuters reported

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Wednesday that any US Congress approval for a military strike against Syria without UN consensus would represent an "aggression."
