Putin blames Ukraine for standoff as Russia boosts defenses in Crimea

LA Times  

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday said that the recent clash with Ukrainian navy forces in the Black Sea was a provocation organized by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and praised the Russian coast guard for its handling of the confrontation, which saw Russian ships open fire on and seize three Ukrainian vessels and 24 crewmen. The Ukrainian flotilla left the Black Sea port of Odessa on Sunday and sailed toward the Kerch Strait — a channel flanked by Crimea and the Russian mainland — to reach Ukrainian ports in the Sea of Azov on the other side of the passage. Sunday’s voyage was not the first time that Ukrainian vessels have sailed from the Black Sea into the Sea of Azov, designated as shared internal waters by Ukraine and Russia by a 2003 treaty that Putin signed himself. We provided them with a pilot and calmly led them to their destination in the Sea of Azov.” Sunday’s incident has sparked the sharpest rise in tensions between Ukraine and Russia since Moscow annexed the Crimean peninsula from Kiev in 2014, and instigated an ongoing insurgency in eastern Ukraine that has claimed at least 10,000 lives.
