  • Kerch Strait En Route to the Ukrainian Port of Berdyansk, on the Sea of Azov, According to Official Ukrainian and Russian Reports (See Figure 1)
    CRS INSIGHT Russia's Use of Force Against the Ukrainian Navy December 3, 2018 (IN11004) | Related Author Cory Welt | Cory Welt, Analyst in European Affairs ([email protected], 7-0530) Naval Incident Escalates Tensions On November 25, 2018, Russian coast guard vessels in the Black Sea forcibly prevented two small Ukrainian armored artillery boats and a tugboat from transiting the Kerch Strait en route to the Ukrainian port of Berdyansk, on the Sea of Azov, according to official Ukrainian and Russian reports (see Figure 1). After ramming the tugboat and blockading all three boats for hours, the Russian vessels reportedly fired on them as they sought to leave the area, injuring six sailors. The Ukrainian boats and their 24 crew members were detained and taken to Kerch, in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian region of Crimea. The sailors were arrested and placed in pretrial detention on charges of illegally crossing what Russia refers to as its state border (i.e., the territorial waters around occupied Crimea). Observers generally viewed the incident as a major escalation of tensions between Russia and Ukraine. Russia Tightens Control In May 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin opened a new 12-mile-long bridge linking Russia to Crimea over the Kerch Strait, the waterway connecting the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov. The bridge was designed to accommodate an existing shipping lane, but it imposes new limits on the size of ships that transit the strait. Observers note that since the bridge's opening, Russia has stepped up its interference with commercial traffic traveling to and from Ukrainian ports in Mariupol and Berdyansk, which export steel, grain, and coal.

  • 20181127-Ukraine-Russia-Kerch
    TRAVEL RISK TRAVEL ADVISORY • 03 DECEMBER 2018 ;Ukraine declares martial law as tensions with Russia intensify KEY EVENTS Ukraine: MODERATE travel risk Risk of Armed Conflict: HIGH Russia: MODERATE travel risk Risk of Armed Conflict: MODERATE Sea of Azov: Tensions intensify as Russia seizes Ukrainian naval vessels in Kerch Strait; Ukraine’s government imposes martial law; continue to monitor the situation. UKRAINE (MODERATE) KEY POINTS SITUATIONAL SUMMARY In what is being described as the most serious escalation since the outbreak of the conflict in the Russian annexed Crimea in 2014, a Russian Federal Security Services (FSB) border guard vessels rammed, then fired upon, three Ukrainian naval vessels on 25 November. The Russian border guards then boarded the ships and detained 23 Ukrainian sailors. According to Ukrainian media, at least six crewmen were injured during the incident which occurred in the strategically important Kerch Strait, a thin waterway between Crimea and mainland Russia, and the only transit route to the Sea of Azov. The waterway remains crucial to Ukraine economic and military interests as the only water-route serving the port city of Mariupol in eastern Ukraine. The 23 Ukrainian crewmen are now being held by Russian forces in Crimea. Russia has not denied the incident, instead claiming that the Ukrainian vessels violated Russia’s territorial waters. Ukraines immediate response to the incident was to call the attack, ‘an act of aggression’, while also issuing a Presidential decree through parliament, declaring 30-days of martial law in the ten regions of Ukraine bordering Russia; as well as those along the Black Sea Coast.
