The Navy warship USS Donald Cook is scheduled to enter the Black Sea no later than Thursday as part of the latest U.S. military effort to demonstrate support for Eastern European allies concerned about Russia’s troop buildup along its border with Ukraine, informs CNN.

According to CNN, the ship will conduct exercises and port visits while in the Black Sea, mentioning that Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey have Black Sea coastlines and are also NATO members, as do non-members Ukraine, Russia and Georgia.

The Navy warship USS Donald Cook is not the first American warship that comes to the Black Sea, while the guided missile destroyer USS Truxtun took part in scheduled exercises in the Black Sea last month and departed March 21, writes the same source.
