Ukraine patched up the provocateur who got hit in the teeth by the Russians
In Ukraine, the tugboat “Yany Kapu” was repaired, which in the fall of 2018 participated in the provocation of the Ukrainian Navy in the Kerch Strait, was arrested by Russia, and later returned to the Ukrainian side.
This was reported by the ArmyInform resource, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The repairs took place at the private enterprise "TOS". Specialists painted the ship's hull, repaired the engine, plating, interior, electrical equipment, and so on.
Let us recall that on November 25, the Russian coast guard ship Don twice rammed the tugboat Yany Kapu, which illegally crossed the maritime border of the Russian Federation. As a result, the engine and hull of the Ukrainian ship were damaged, and the life raft was lost, and the tug itself was arrested along with the crew members and stood at the berth in Kerch for a year.
Interestingly, this was the second time that the crew of the tugboat “surrendered” it to the Russian side. This first happened in the spring of 2014, when the Russian flag was raised on it in Sevastopol. A month later, it was decided to return the tugboat stationed in Streletskaya Bay to Ukraine - the sailors took it to neutral waters and abandoned the ship, after which the Ukrainian crew boarded it.
