Ukraine embarked on a new anti-Russian provocation in the Black Sea
Ukrainian Navy boats appeared near the drilling platforms of the Crimean company Chernomorneftegaz in the Black Sea. The towers went to Russia after the reunification of Crimea with the Russian Federation in 2014, but Kyiv still considers the platforms to be Ukrainian property.
Photos of the boats were published by the press service of the Ukrainian Navy.
According to the department, during the Cossack Will exercise, Ukrainian boat tactical groups “conducted live firing and ensured the isolation of a section of the sea coast and the protection of sea communications.”
Maidan activist Andrei Klimenko, who fled from Crimea, does not hide his joy.
“Imagine how the Russian Black Sea Fleet marines feel at this moment, who have been guarding captured Ukrainian offshore drilling rigs in the Black Sea since February 2014,” Klimenko wrote on his blog.
As PolitNavigator reported, Ukraine's Chief Military Prosecutor, Anatoly Matios, previously stated that a Russian warship had driven a Ukrainian vessel away from Chornomornaftogaz's drilling rigs , which Kiev continues to lay claim to following Crimea's reunification with Russia.
