Russia Bags 3 Ukraine Naval Ships Near Crimea; Aggression May Lead to Russian-Ukrainian War

Russia today (November 26, 2018) ignored Western calls to release three Ukrainian naval ships and their crews it fired on and captured near Crimea yesterday and accused Kiev of plotting with its Western allies to provoke a conflict, according to the Reuters website.

Ukraine accused Russia of military aggression and put its armed forces on full combat alert.

With relations still hostile after Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, the current crisis risks pushing the two countries towards a major war.

The European Union, Britain, France, Poland, Denmark, and Canada all condemned Russia's aggression.
