The Russian and U.S. defence ministers held a phone call on Wednesday, the Russian defence ministry said, a day after a U.S. military drone crashed over the Black Sea in an incident Washington called "unsafe" and "reckless"
Moscow said the request for the call came from the United States, but provided no other details of the conversation between Sergei Shoigu and his U.S. counterpart, Lloyd Austin.
The call came after officials in Moscow and Washington accused each other in the crash of a U.S. military surveillance drone over the Black Sea on Tuesday.
