The United States has praised the role of Russia in battling the Somali-based pirates. Speaking in Washington Friday, the senior State Department official Thomas Countryman mentioned this country’s participation in the international contact group against piracy and also its successful naval missions to crush pirates. He looked forward to great results from growing international cooperation against piracy. Since October 2008, Russian warships have been escorting international cargo vessels through pirate-infested waters off the Horn of Africa. Its current patrol ship there is the frigate Neustrashimy.
