A few Ukrainians, presumably activists of nationalist Student Brotherhood, have set today to filming and making photos of facilities of the RF Black Sea Fleet, in particular, of Mars-75 radio navigation station that is located close to Genichensk, said Four-Stripper Captain Igor Dygalo, who is the aide to commander-in-chief of Russias Navy. From around 8:50 a.m., MSK, a group of Ukrainians, presumably, from the nationalist Student Brotherhood, is making video filming/pictures of Mars-75 radio navigation station of the RF Black Sea Fleet, Dygalo said as quoted by ITAR-TASS. So far, there have been no attempts to enter the military facilities of Russia.
On Sunday, Mars-75 guards kept five unidentified persons away from the territory of the station. Friday seizure of Yalta light tower of the Black Sea Fleet has obviously inspired Ukrainians but prompted Russians to reinforce patrol of all assets of hydrographic service of the Black Fleet. According to Dygalo, this move allowed to keep Sarych light tower that is located some 30km to the south-east of Sevastopol.
Russia and Ukraine have been slapping each other by contradictory statements for a few days in a row. The Black Sea Fleet sees the seizure of Yalta light tower as some illegal and provocative action. As to Ukrainians, they say they are just getting back light towers, which belong to them under laws.
The captain is a stripper too?
Well, Im not aware of all customs/duties of the Russian military :)
So what is this all about; the tension between Russia and the Ukraine has been climbing steadily, but where is it going?
Only God know it, I hope that he has some good plan.
