MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 27th November, 2018) Russian Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Ukraine may organize new provocations after the Kerch Strait incident.
The spokeswoman described the Sunday incident in the Kerch Strait as a well-prepared provocation.
"Unfortunately, I think that more provocations will happen given the current developments," Zakharova told the Rossiya-1 broadcaster.
On Sunday, Ukraine's Berdyansk and Nikopol gunboats and the Yany Kapu tug crossed the Russian maritime border. According to Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB), the vessels sailed towards the Kerch Strait, an entrance to the Sea of Azov, where the ships were seized by Russia due to the lack of reply to a lawful demand to stop.
In response to the situation in the Kerch Strait, the Ukrainian authorities decided on Monday to introduce martial law in selected regions of Ukraine along the border with Russia as well as along the coast of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov for 30 days.
