NATO supports Ukraine over crisis with Russia

Conflicts 11:15 28.11.2018

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) expressed support late Tuesday for Ukraine over crisis with Russia.

"There is no justification for Russia's use of military force against Ukrainian ships and naval personnel. We call on Russia to release the Ukrainian sailors and ships it seized without delay," the military alliance said in a statement.

We reiterate our full support to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders and territorial waters. We strongly condemn Russia’s illegal and illegitimate annexation of Crimea, which we do not and will not recognize. Russia's construction and partial opening of the Kerch Strait bridge represents another violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

NATO stands with Ukraine, and will continue to provide political and practical support to the country within the framework of our established cooperation. NATO will continue to monitor the situation.

Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko has warned that Russia will face serious consequences if it attacks its neighbor Ukraine. The president of Ukraine has a message that he wants President Donald Trump to personally deliver to Russian President Vladimir Putin at the upcoming G20 summit in Argentina:

"Please, get out from Ukraine, Mr. Putin," Petro Poroshenko said Tuesday, NBC reported.

A Crimean court has ordered one of the Ukrainian seamen captured by Russia at the weekend to be held in custody for the next two months. Russia claimed that they had failed to obtain permission to pass through the narrow Kerch Strait, which links the Azov with the Black Sea, The National Scot reported.
