Ukraine's navy says Russia has opened fire and seized three of its vessels off the coast of the annexed Crimea, in a major escalation of tensions.

It said two gunboats and a tug were captured by Russian special forces after a chase. Two Ukrainian crew members were injured.

Russia is yet to comment on the claims.

Russia 'fires on and seizes Ukraine ships'

Seems the Uk navy has no fight in them to surrender 2 artillery ships, might better apologize and steam home.

Sad to see the homeland in distress again.

Looks to me like Putin wants the whole of Ukraine and will do whatever it takes to get it.

Crimea river.

Russia wants territory that will enable to to smack down attempts to blockage it from sea access. This politic has been the same for a thousand years.

Choke point at Kerch.

Ukraine gave up it's nuclear weapons in an agreement with us.

I highly Doubt Ukraine does anything rash. They cant possibly take on Russia and hope to win. A few months back during the height of the Syrian crisis where the US and Russia squared off .. reports were coming out about massive armor units being moved to the Ukrainian border. Much of it was old stock second rate stuff . The US began sending Javelin anti tank missiles to the Ukraine in Sept

That's all I got.


What’s Putin up to? The Russian military buildup in Europe raises tension.

I don't think it would be too hard for them acquiring again !

Hey-oh!

Interesting. It's been almost 24 hours and no one has posted that this is all the fault of the united states.

It's likely the russians will become more aggressive in the near term. Due to their horrible demographics their armed forces will be half the size they are now because in 10-20 years the number of military age males will decline. If they want to establish defensible borders they need to move within the next few years. It remains to be seen whether this country will get involved or not.

Just a friendly reminder to Anglo-Saxon revisionists. Ukraine was a part of Russia when Russia was U.S. ally, before Bolsheviks came to power and partitioned the country. In fact at the time, we were so pissed off at Bolsheviks for doing this, we sent troops to Russia to support white insurgency that was trying to restore the old government. Their motto was United and Unpartitioned Russia. Anyone who wants to challenge these historical facts, go ahead and make my day.

Ukraine was a part of Russia since 1700's.

FREE ODESSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is your point? Most of NY belonged to the Five Nations in that same time frame. And the people of modern day Greece aren't anything like those that gave us the concept of a Democratic Republic. You probably didn't live where you lived 30 years ago.

Oh goodie!!! Another possible war we can get involved in.

I hate to see Ukraine getting butt-fucked again, but the US has just got to mind its own business.

We have no vested interest.

ETA: and if we do, it'll be Trump's fault, regardless of the truth.

This is pretty much my thought as well.

Not our problem. We need to worry about us.

When two countries are allies they accept each other's territorial integrity by default.
It may be to my benefit to break up my neighbor's family.
It may be to my benefit to get my neighbor in financial trouble.
It may be to my benefit when my neighbor loses control of his property.
It may be to my benefit to make all kinds of profits from the above.
But I would be a fool if I expect he will sit back and let me.
