The Black Sea Fleet declared a hunt for Ukrainian pirates
The consequences of the 2014 referendum, as a result of which the Crimea and Sevastopol reunited with Russia, and the failure to recognize this fait accompli by Ukraine and most foreign countries will be affected for a long time to come. Unable to recover lost territories by force, Nezalezha conducts hostile to the Russian Federation policies and recoup on her citizens.
On March 25, 2018, the Border Guard Service of the Independent in the Sea of Azov illegally detained the Nord fishing seiner with 10 crew members. The fishing vessel was registered in the Crimea and had all the necessary permits for fishing. Fishing was carried out in strict accordance with the rules. However, the "Nord" was detained by Ukrainian border guards and taken to the city of Berdyansk on the Azov coast of Zaporizhzhya Oblast Nezalezhnaya. The crew of the Crimean fishing seiner is charged with an article on violation of the procedure for entering and leaving the “temporarily occupied territory”, which is punishable by a fine or arrest for up to 15 days. The captain faces a more serious punishment.
According to Ukrainian law, he can be elected by the court restriction or imprisonment for up to three years. As an additional measure, the Nord vessel may be confiscated. For their release, the Russians put a mocking condition on recognizing themselves as Ukrainians and providing Ukrainian passports. Ukraine does not recognize Russian passports and ship documents issued by the Nord issued in the Republic of Crimea, and therefore claims that there are no citizens of the Russian Federation on board the detained seiner. Therefore, the Russian consul is not allowed to fishermen. Thus, ordinary sailors became hostages of the unresolved issue of the territorial affiliation of the Crimean peninsula at the international level.
The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, called the actions of the Ukrainian border service similar to the sea robbery of Somali pirates. The Foreign Ministry considers these actions illegal attempts by Ukraine to avenge the Crimeans for their choice in favor of Russia and demands the return of the arrested ship, freeing the crew.
The danger of the emergence of Ukrainian state piracy is visible to the naked eye. In order to eliminate in the bud the idea of the appearance of Ukrainian privateers in the waters of the Azov and Black Seas, the command of the Russian Black Sea Fleet is ready to ensure the safety of navigation in these areas due to its permanent presence. The Russian Navy and naval aviation are ready to harshly suppress the activity of the Ukrainian “Drake Francis” in the Sea of Azov and the northeastern part of the Black Sea.
