BBC: Ukraine accuses Russia of returning ships 'stripped of toilets'

Ukraine has accused Russia of removing weapons and equipment - including toilets - from navy boats it returned after seizing them in the Black Sea.

"[Russia] removed even dome lights, sockets, and toilet bowls," Ukraine's navy commander Ihor Voronchenko said.

The boats, which were seized last November, were handed over on Monday.

There you go. They stripped stuff out so they could put in the spying devices, maybe some explosives and then forgot to put the stuff back.

Stealing toilets is a Russian tradition. In WW2 they stole all the NAZI toilets. Oh it's true,lol!!!
