06.12.2018

Russia’s Azov Sea attack on Ukraine planned in advance?

No end to brutal torment of Ukrainian journalist sentenced for opposing Russian occupation of Crimea

Russia attacks & seizes Ukrainian naval boats near Crimea, & western media repeat FSB claims of ‘provocation by Ukraine’
26.11.2018
On 25 November, a Russian boat rammed a Ukrainian naval vessel near the Kerch Strait and later fired on and seized three Ukrainian naval vessels.

Worrying secrecy around allocation of aid to Ukrainian political prisoners in Russia & occupied Crimea
