On December 9, the FSB of Russia reported about the Donbass command ship of the Ukrainian Naval Forces moving towards the Kerch Strait.
The FSB noted that the ship does not comply with the requirements to change the course, its actions pose a threat to navigation.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that the Donbass ship of the Ukrainian Naval Forces is legally in the Sea of Azov.
Later it became known that the ship "Donbass" lay on a return course.
The press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov called the incident with the Ukrainian ship near the Kerch Strait provocative.
