We screwed ourselves again - Kyiv diplomat
The Ukrainian military, when their ships were captured by Russian special forces, “failed” in the same way as in 14.
This was stated on TV channel 112 by the former head of the information department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, international political scientist Oleg Voloshin, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the expert, just like four years ago, the sailors did not resist the capture.
“The question is whether there was resistance. If there was no resistance, then, you know, I’m already beginning to involuntarily believe in all these conspiracy theories - where did this campaign even come from, why did they stand there and go back without eating, why did they capture?..
According to the regulations, the military were, in principle, supposed to offer resistance when invading the ship. These are warships, you know? It was not fishing vessels that were captured, it was ships with weapons that were captured. During the day, our military leadership said with bravado that we were ready for assault options, everyone was in a fighting mood, and so on. Why didn’t we see this?” Voloshin said.
Earlier, Russian military expert Vladislav Shurygin said that the detention of combat units of the Ukrainian Navy near the Kerch Strait is deeply symbolic, The pride of the Ukrainian “fleet” was captured by the Russians and the most svidomo crews.
Let us recall that the day before the Ukrainian military tried to transfer two small armored artillery boats “Berdyansk” and “Nikopol”, as well as the tugboat “Yany Kapu” from Odessa to Mariupol on the Sea of Azov. Russian border guards let's go ram ships of the Ukrainian Navy, closing the Kerch Strait to passage.
It was reported that the number of injured as a result of the clash between the Ukrainian Navy and Russian border guards near the Kerch Strait reached six Ukrainian sailors.
