Ukraine says Russia has opened fire on its ships in the Black Sea and captured three vessels.

Two sailors have been wounded after two boats were hit in the strikes, the Ukrainian navy said.

The Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko has called an emergency session of his war cabinet in response to the incident.

"Today's dangerous events in the Azov Sea testify that a new front of [Russian] aggression is open," Ukrainian foreign ministry spokeswoman Mariana Betsa said.

"Ukraine [is] calling now for [an] emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council." It comes after a day of rising tensions off the coast of Crimea.

Ah, O.K. Viva la Honduras!

I didn’t read the description of the tugboat being rammed by a Russian ship except in another article I just opened.

Russians are thugs. Even TASS admits that the “Azov Sea and the Kerch Straits are domestic waters of Russia and Ukraine.

Yes, thank you.

I understood the basics but didn’t know what the image in that post was showing me, exactly.

I did open the BBC link and read about the ramming.

Have good day.
