A Russian ship threatens a civilian vessel in the Black Sea (video)
A Russian ship contacted a civilian vessel in the Black Sea and began threatening the crew.
Military ships of the Russian Federation continue to act aggressively and defiantly in the waters of the Black Sea, violating all norms of international maritime law, the State Border Service noted.
The agency published a record of the conversation of the occupiers, who through an open channel communicated with a ship passing near one of the seaports of Ukraine.
“Nationality? What kind of cargo do you have? Over. Do you have any weapons on board? For information: I am warning you about the prohibition of movement to the ports of Ukraine. Also, the transportation of any cargo to Ukraine by ship is considered by the Russian side as a potential transportation of military cargo. The country under whose flag the ship is sailing is considered involved in the conflict in Ukraine. Over,” says the Russian.
The head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak, commented that such actions by the Russians in the Black Sea are “terrorist methods,” and the only effective tool against terrorism is force.
Yermak emphasized that the international community should condemn the actions of the Russians, a “systemic position” is needed.
