Thread: Nato calls for calm after boats seized in Russia-Ukraine clashes

Putin is just following the same type of action as China wants to do with the South China Sea.
China builds military bases on the reefs to say we own all movement there.
Putin builds a bridge over the Kerch strait to control the movement of ships to the Sea of Azov then he owns the sea,no more
Ukraine ships allowed to go to Ukraine ports and stuff right of navigation,win win for Russia.

^^^ that does seem rather perverse.

WTF is NATO gonna do about it? Nothing, I think, but agree with Tax this is an ideal opportunity for the European Army to flex their muscles...

Lavrov: Russia will not allow NATO ships to enter the Sea of Azov
Friday, October 19, 2018

“Now Ukraine wants to invite NATO to conduct joint exercises in the Sea of Azov, but this will not be possible because our agreement with Ukraine requires mutual consent for the passage of warships into the Sea of Azov,” said Lavrov in his interview with RT France, Paris Match and Le Figaro.

“But they want it, and they are actively encouraged by others,” added Lavrov.

According to the Russian Foreign Minister, the NATO actions near the Russian borders are provocative.

"The accumulation of weapons on our borders, the intention to modernize Europe’s transport infrastructure so that American heavy machinery and likely weapons of other NATO countries would have easy access to our borders – openly provocative exercises, not like ours with China in the middle of Siberia, but in Ukraine, in Georgia and in the Black Sea,” said Lavrov.

The Russian minister added that the deployment of the American division on a permanent basis on the territory of Poland would be a direct violation of the Russia-NATO Founding Act.
