Russian "Mongoose" scared the Ukrainian military
Russian border guards tried to make “dangerous maneuvers” near the Mariupol roadstead.
This was reported by the press center of the Naval Forces of Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Thus, Russian border guards on a Mongoose type boat approached the recently arrived ships Donbass and Korets.
“Near the Mariupol roadstead in the anchorage area, there was an attempt at provocation by a Russian border patrol boat of the Mongoose type, which had recently created similar actions by dangerously maneuvering next to a Ukrainian maritime security boat. The Russian border boat tried to approach our ships at high speed, but by the decisive active actions of the crews of the small armored artillery boats “Lubny” and “Kremenchug” it was stopped and not allowed to the mooring area of the search and rescue vessel “Donbass” and the sea tug “Korets”. , the message says.
The Ukrainian Navy also claims that during the passage of the Kerch Strait, the crews of “Donbass” and “Korets” did not pay for the services of a Russian pilot.
Let us recall that earlier the Ukrainian tug "Korets" and the floating workshop "Donbass" made the transition from the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov.
As reported "Reedus“, they passed under the Crimean Bridge.
It is noteworthy that this was agreed with the Russian side.
At the same time, on Ukrainian TV they claim that Crimeans met the rusty ships of the Ukrainian Navy with tears in their eyespassing through the Kerch Strait.
