“Today in the Crimea ... they presented certificates of honor from the State Duma to the crews of border patrol ships and border patrol boats involved in preventing a provocation arranged by the Kiev authorities in the Kerch Strait,” Volodya quoted RIA Novosti.
The Chairman of the State Duma noted that the border guards acted in full accordance with the norms of international law.
On November 25, three ships of the Ukrainian Navy illegally crossed the Russian border, after which they were detained.
All 24 sailors on board were arrested and charged. President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, commenting on Fox News on the incident in the Kerch Strait, announced the beginning of a “war” with Russia.
