“Haven’t introduced, but, of course, given the pre-election situation in Ukraine, this decision, of course, smacks of electoral politics. Of course, the electoral challenge, waving the flag of war, is wrong and dangerous, from our point of view,” — said the representative of the Kremlin. To the question whether Russia is ready to mobilize its troops, Mr. Sands did not answer.
25 Nov in the Kerch Strait, the FSB detained three Ukrainian vessel with 23 sailors. To “force stop” ships of the Russian frontier guards used the weapon, as a result, three Ukrainian military were wounded.
