“There are people on the part of Russia, on the part of Ukraine ... I would take the lead to collect them, let's call them so — moral authorities, we don’t need to rise too high today — people who lived all their lives in the name of life, not in the name of war. Get together and try to make a "road map", what steps need to be taken, "said Kravchuk.
He noted that he had not met a single person in Ukraine who wanted war. At the same time, Kravchuk said that he was in favor of returning the Ukrainian ships detained by Russia in the Kerch Strait, as well as the release of sailors.
On November 25, three ships of the Ukrainian Navy illegally crossed the Russian border, after which they were detained.
The court later ordered the arrest of 24 sailors who participated in the provocation.
December 3, they were charged.
State Duma deputy Pavel Shperov, in an interview with the FAN, appreciated the plans of the Ukrainian president, Petro Poroshenko, to appeal to the International Court of Justice in connection with this incident.
