"You know that Putin avoids talking," he added.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov declared that the fate of Ukrainian sailors captured by the Russians near the Kerch Strait in Russia would be settled after the trial.
In response to this, the Vice President of the Verkhovna Rada, Irina Gerashchenko, pointed out that Ukraine will not recognize and will never recognize Russian judgments on Ukrainian sailors, which Russia has illegally captured in the sea of Azov. According to her, the Ukrainian side will try to free the sailors and will do everything in its power to bomb the Ukrainian ships. These sentences are severely punished.

It is known that two small Ukrainian armored artillery boats and raids were conducted in accordance with international standards from the port of Odessa to the port of Mariupol
However, Russia stated that Ukrainian warships illegally entered the port of Temporarily closed water zone of the Russian Sea. and continued their movement towards the Kerch Strait.
A group of Ukrainian ships continued their journey to Mariupol. However, during the withdrawal from the Kerch Strait, Russian border ships opened fire on Ukrainian ships, injuring six Ukrainian soldiers. Several of them had urgent surgery. Russia also seized 2 Ukrainian ships and captured 24 Ukrainian sailors, who were subsequently arrested in occupied Crimea and taken to SIZO Moscow.
Ukraine then introduced a military state in the 10 regions until December 26th. In addition, on November 30, Ukraine banned the entry into its territory of Russian citizens aged 16 to 60 years.
Russia is no longer the first month of the world to block foreign ships going to the Ukrainian ports of the Azov Sea. As a result, the Ukrainian economy is suffering considerable losses.
