| (32 minutes later) | |
| Ukraine’s Security Service has arrested a Russia-registered oil tanker that allegedly blocked maritime traffic in the Kerch Strait. It comes as both countries talk the release of Ukrainian sailors detained in the area last year. | |
| The Russian-flagged ship ‘Nika Spirit’ was detained by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the military prosecutors after it moored at the port of Izmail in southwestern Ukraine, according to the agency’s statement. Ukrainian authorities have searched the vessel, seized her logs and communications records, as well as interviewed the crew. | |
| SBU maintains that the tanker in question had blocked the passage of Ukrainian Navy ships through the Black Sea’s Kerch Strait in November last year. Citing international maritime codes, the service said that she was allegedly called ‘Neyma’ at the time. | |
