The Kerch clash: a chronicle of events
Russia and Ukraine have come to the dangerous line of armed confrontation. In the Kerch Strait, a conflict has already happened. There are wounded and prisoners from the Ukrainian side.
November 25. 07:00. Three ships of the Naval Forces of Ukraine - two small armored artillery boats “Berdyansk” and “Nikopol” and the raid tugboat “Yany Kapu” - crossed the state border of the Russian Federation without the necessary rights and permits. The border ships of the Border Service of the FSB of Russia entered the interception of Ukrainian ships.
The Ukrainian authorities said that the border ship Don rammed a tugboat, as a result of which the ship’s engine was damaged, its lining and barriers were damaged, and a liferaft was lost.
11:30. Two artillery boats of the Gyurza type advanced from the port of Berdyansk towards the Kerch Strait, which headed to the conflict zone at maximum speed.
The Russian cargo ship blocked the passage under the arch of the Crimean bridge. Near the dry cargo ship were Russian combat boats.
13:12. Two attack helicopters of the Russian Armed Forces Ka-52 flew into the conflict area to escort boats of the Ukrainian Navy. In the conflict zone, Su-25 attack aircraft appeared in the air.
Around 19 p.m. The Ukrainian ship group moved out of the Kerch Strait, but Russian boats and ships began its pursuit. They demanded that Ukrainian ships stop moving.
20:28. Boats of the Border Service of the FSB of Russia opened fire on defeat at the naval group of the Ukrainian Navy. The small armored artillery boat "Berdyansk" was damaged. One member of the Ukrainian Navy was injured. Two armored boats and one tugboat were detained by the FSB of Russia.
26 November. It became known that the detained Ukrainian ships were delivered to the port of Kerch. Wounded Ukrainian sailors receive medical assistance. In total, 23 Ukrainian sailors were detained on captured ships.
On the night of November 26, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko ordered the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine to be on full alert.
At a night meeting of the National Security and Defense Council, it was decided to submit a statement on the introduction of martial law in Ukraine for approval by the Rada.
Petro Poroshenko states that no restrictions on human rights in Ukraine are expected. But measures to impose martial law provide for the possibility of expropriation of property from citizens in the interests of national defense, the introduction of compulsory labor service for able-bodied citizens. There is no data on the possibility of universal mobilization of Ukrainians.
An emergency meeting of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is due to be held on November 26 at 16:00, at which the issue of imposing martial law in the country will be considered.
At noon on November 26, the Kremlin became aware of the conflict’s assessment. Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov called the situation in the Kerch Strait a “very dangerous provocation” of Ukraine.
From the side of the row politicians Petro Poroshenko's actions were judged even more sharply. Thus, the Deputy Speaker of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Pyotr Tolstoy called Petro Poroshenko "the president of the war", and linked the provocation in the Kerch Strait with a possible attempt by Kiev to disrupt the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump:
Both Russia and Ukraine appeal to the world community. Ukraine is looking for intercession from the West; Russia expects the West to try to influence Kiev and prevent further provocations.
However, while the US is more likely to show a tendency to support Ukraine’s military adventures. So, the US electronic reconnaissance aircraft RC-135V took off on the morning of November 26 to fly around the Black Sea. Meanwhile, an entire US military squadron continues to move east in the Mediterranean Sea as part of an attack aircraft carrier landing ship, helicopter landing ship, and landing dock ship. On board the ships - more than 2 thousand marines.

An attempt to prevent this meeting with the help of several ships of the Ukrainian Navy is the most idiotic step of all possible.
Both Russia and Ukraine appeal to the world community. Ukraine is looking for intercession from the West; Russia expects the West to try to influence Kiev and prevent further provocations.
