Russia Fires Warning Shots And Boards Cargo Ship In Black Sea

 

CNN: Russia fires warning shots and boards cargo ship in Black Sea 

A Russian warship fired warning shots and boarded a cargo ship it claims was headed to Ukraine in the Black Sea on Sunday, according to Russia’s defense ministry.

Russia pulled out of a UN and Turkish-brokered deal in July that allowed Ukraine to move its grain via the Black Sea and warned that any ships headed to Ukraine would be treated as potentially carrying weapons. 

Ukraine made a similar threat to ships traveling to Russian ports. Russia said the warship fired warning shots when the captain of the Palau-flagged dry cargo ship failed to respond to a request to stop for an inspection.

Obviously, that Russian vessel needs to be taught a lesson and made into an artificial reef.

Russian ships have been stranded in port or hugging the east coast of the Black Sea. Must be some reason.

Like not wanting to become a reef?
