Ukraine's president has called for the establishment of a military readiness law in the country after increasing tensions with Russia. Meanwhile, because of the selection of 3 Ukrainian ships, a violent protest took place in Kiev near the Russian Embassy.
After the battle on the Black Sea came the reaction of Kiev's government. The executive met urgently during Monday's early hours to ask parliament to announce the army law following the incident in the Kerch Strait, near Crime.
The Russian Armed Forces have confirmed Sunday's incident, in which he was hit by heavy means, but also the sequencing of 3 Ukrainian ships by Russia: it's about two warships and a contractor.
During the assembly of the National Security and Defence Council, Ukrainian President Petro Porosenko announced he would ask parliament to declare military law, stating that this does not mean “war village”.
“Ukraine has no program to wage war with anyone”, the president assured.
Kiev's defence minister has announced that he has ordered the armed forces to remain in operational alert. Poroshenko has named Moscow acts “unprotested and crazy”.
Meanwhile, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley has confirmed the Security Council meeting, urgently called to lower tension between the two former Soviet countries. The meeting, which according to international media diplomatic sources has been demanded more from Russia than Ukraine, will be held at five o'clock.
Russia and Ukraine have been exchanging charges since Sunday for the crisis, in which shots were fired that caused the injuries of some Ukrainian sailors.
The Kremlin's army crashed into a Ukrainian contractor who was drawing two Kiev Navy military units through the Kerchi Strait.
Russia considered provoking and insulting the request of 3 Ukrainian ships to allow their journey to the port of Marioupolis.
On the other hand, Kiev accused Moscow of opening fire by wounding two sailors and of sequenting three Ukrainian naval ships. Which Moscow has confirmed.
It's the worst escalation between two neighboring countries since Russia's crime annexation in 2014. Meanwhile, during Sunday evening, protests broke out in the vicinity of the Russian Embassy in Kiev -- about 150 people gathered to express their anger at catching 3 ships.
The filmmakers have also burned a Russian diplomatic vehicle.
