Is there a formal violation of Ukrainian ships from the 12-mile zone? The movement of ships is close to this area. It could have happened by accident. It was possible to do everything without using fire. But Russia has shown strength. It is not excluded, have provoked Ukrainian soldiers to shoot in response. To make us play according to Russian rules. Then, we do not know how the situation would have developed. The incident with the reciprocal use of fire could be used by Russia for a simultaneous but demonstrative military operation,

The expert observes that: catching offenders on both sides were still – fishermen and merchant ships . But Ukraine has not violated international law. The loss of image for Russia is greater
When the passage of our military ships began, the Kremlin may have appeared as a demonstrative power campaign plan. Demonstration of strength and propaganda for the Russians and the West. Do not grab the sailors, so negotiate their release. This goal has come next. It is a distraction of Ukrainian political prisoners in Russia and Crimean Tatars, against which prosecution is underway in the annexed peninsula
Volodymyr Fesenko is convinced.
At a special session of the UN Security Council, most of the members of the body did not support the holding of a meeting on the conflict at The Sea Azov on the order proposed by Russia – consider the incident occurred in the sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait as a provocation of Ukraine. The US Congress also condemned the illegal actions of Russia in the sea of Azov.
What happened in the sea of Azov? On November 25, Russia resorted to outright aggression in the sea of Azov. The Russian border ship made a descent in the tug of the Ukrainian army. At the same time, the command of the Ukrainian Navy points out that two small armored artillery boats and a tug of attack of the navy of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have moved from the port of Odessa to the port of Mariupol planned and in accordance with international standards.
Russia did not postpone the reaction. In the Russian Federal Security Services, Ukrainian warships "illegally entered the waters of the temporarily closed Russian territorial sea" and continued their movement towards the Kerch Strait.
Despite this group of Navy ships continued its journey to Mariupol. However, right out of the Kerch Strait, Russian border ships opened fire on Ukrainian ships, injuring six Ukrainian soldiers. Russia has also seized two Ukrainian ships, captured and arrested 24 Ukrainian sailors in occupied Crimea.
