There’s always another side to the story.
The FSB (Federal Security Service) has claimed in a statement that the naval standoff in Crimean waters was a “provocative act of the Ukrainian Navy executed upon direct orders by the government in Kiev.” The clash took place on Sunday in the Kerch Strait, which connects mainland Russia and the Crimean peninsula. It involved Ukrainian ships and Russian coast guard vessels.
And they add that two officers from the Ukrainian Security Service, or SBU, were embedded with the intruder ships to coordinate the incursion.
