  1. Note that the Russian vessel did not ram the Ukrainian vessel. The Ukranian vessel broke two rules of navigation at sea. They are: i) give way to vessels to your starboard and ii) smaller vessels give way to larger vessels. The smaller Ukrainian boat had a larger Russian ship to its starboard. It should have given way but didn’t. It pulled in front of the Russian vessel then slowed down. The Russian crew saw that a collision was inevitable hence all the shouting. The Ukrainian tug captian deliberately engineered a collision.

  2. Crimea was NOT "snapped by Russia" - the Crimeans voted overwhelmingly to secede from the Ukrain an to join the Russian Federation. Huge difference! The Russian military in Crimea had been legally there for many years, they are from the Russian naval base in Sevastopol leased from the Ukraine for many years. Fox News is a liar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sea_Fleet Excerpt: "On April 21, 2010, Ukrainian President Yanukovych and Russian President Medvedev reached an agreement whereby the Russian lease on naval facilities in Crimea would be extended beyond 2017 by 25 years with an additional 5-year renewal option (to 2042–47) in exchange for a multiyear discounted contract to provide Ukraine with Russian natural gas."
