“‘Russia can do anything it wants’: Relatives of captured Ukrainian sailors say they feel abandoned
Family members lament lack of response and support”
Why do you promote such uninformed stuff as this?
Please, every time a Russian ship passes Britain in the English Channel, clearly in international waters, you guys chirp about the Royal Navy going out to accompany it. Same for Russian planes flying in international airspace anywhere near Britain.
Here we have genuine outlaw behavior by Ukraine. Three ships broke known rules. They ignored Russian Border Control. They proved to have some substantial weapons on board. And they had members of Ukraine’s secret service aboard. And the Kerch Bridge has been openly threatened on more than one occasion by Ukrainian politicians speaking like terrorists.
There are no issues here at all in Russia’s behavior. No one was killed, unlike the weekly killings in Gaza of unarmed civilians who never set foot in Israel, something I do not see decried by the press, as it very well should be.
