“The Russians killed them. They even took off ceiling lights, sockets and toilet bowls, ”he said in a comment to Channel 4, adding that Ukraine“ will show the whole world the barbaric attitude of Russians. ”

According to Voronchenko, the vessels so far only approach territorial waters.

“The speed is very small, they do not go under their own power,” he said.

On November 18, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced the transfer of the tugboat Yana Kapu and the small armored artillery boats Nikopol and Berdyansk to Ukraine in neutral waters of the Black Sea, which were detained for violating the Russian border in the Kerch Strait in November 2018.

Later, the transfer was confirmed in Ukraine.
