Ukraine has irrefutable evidence of aggressive actions by Russian vessels in Black Sea - Navy

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have irrefutable technical evidence of aggressive actions by Russian military vessels in the Black Sea, the press service of the Ukrainian Navy has reported.
"The Ukrainian Armed Forces have full irrefutable technical evidence of the acts of aggression by Russian military vessels in the Black Sea [...] The fact that the Delta [system] was used to monitor the positioning of Ukrainian ships that were subjected to attacks by Russian military vessels makes any insinuations by the Russians regarding the violation of international maritime navigation by Ukrainian sailors impossible," the statement reads.

It notes that the Delta information system of situational awareness was developed in accordance with NATO technological standards in close cooperation with NATO specialists. The system allows real-time monitoring of the atmosphere of friendly and hostile forces.

On November 25, Russian border ships committed aggressive actions against three Ukrainian vessels that set sail from the port of Odesa to the port of Mariupol in the Azov Sea. After that, Russian special forces opened fire on the Ukrainian tugboat Yany Kapu, small armored artillery boats Berdiansk and Nikopol in the Kerch Strait and seized them. There were 23 sailors on board the ships, and six of them were wounded.

Russia announced its intention to try detained Ukrainian sailors for allegedly illegal crossing of the Russian state border.

On November 26, the UN Security Council held an emergency meeting on the situation in Ukraine related to the latest developments in the Black and Azov Seas.
