. -- there of crimea. you also urge the sovereignty to be respected. the sovereignty of the russian federation should be expected to come at least that is our understanding of what you isieve -- too, at least that our understanding of what you believe. ms. haley, perhaps it seems that you are saying that the sea of azov is part of their agreement, perhaps i'm is heard. unfortunately, that is outstanding. our previous meeting, current representative talked about an entire -- he gave an entire announcement of the agreement and went through it really paragraph by paragraph and despite that, we have to fear these agrees -- egregious things. questions.any you and investigation -- the investigation is underway and i do not want to predict what is still a hot topic. i would like to highlight two point that have not yet been mentioned. clearly, they pertain to this and they need analysis. for example, one of the vessels -- there were two from the security services of ukraine and permission to act in a certain way.

i'd also like to say, that since crimea has been touched upon, although crimea is not on the security council's agenda, i would like to underscore that if you know who crimea belongs to, for us, the cremeans, it is not a question anymore whether you like it or not. no sanctions will change our opinion. that issue was closed after the crimeans voted in a free election and referendum to become part of russia. that was a referendum on self-determination. many people are asking, well, did they know what would face them given the current geopolitical anti-russian project in ukraine? of course, people have no illusions. they knew what would happen. does russia regret what has happened? no, in no way shape or form. furthermore, i'd like to say the majority of russians are proud of what has happened because we have sought to protect crimea. if we had not done so, then they would be subjected to what other people are being subjected to at the moment. these are russian-speaking people who protected the area from the fascists. there's also a need to mention, and i didn't mention this in my previ

but they did not address the geopolitical status of crimea the military status of crimea would it be possible under any circumstances for you to imagine that russia would simply say that from now on we do not want to have access to the black sea russia investigated moving the headquarters of the black sea fleet. and that the conditions at novara sisco were not ideal for this they signed a. lease agreement with ukraine and extended it in a rather controversial action new korean parliament in two thousand and ten more controversial among the ukrainians and so indeed there was a legal arrangement and legal status for the russian fleet and russian military presence inside ukraine in crimea that was in place well before two thousand and thirteen two thousand and fourteen and was recognized by the rest of the world it was moving ukraine territorial and i think that a lot of westerners had a real problem with as you mentioned for many in the west. russia's takeover of crimea was pure and it's a sion but i'm sure you know that for many in russia it wasn't just the land grap it was to some ex

aggressive moves what i mean is first of all sanctions against russian military in crimea because what happened yesterday and continue to happen today is the result of russian. russian claims that the ukrainian bustles crossed their stated border but actually there are no russians border these are all are ukrainian territorial waters so is just being a continuation their recent crisis is the continuation or what is happening to some sense that. i mentioned to know what you think as well about this idea of martial law president poroshenko says he wants that but there is a lot of talk that it's just it's a sort of cynical political ploy to delay the elections in ukraine. well the same could be their seizure of crimea was just a cynical move to boast the very end of president fourteen but you were speaking about ukraine the martial law. the next words of the president as commander in chief. in order to suppress any russian some version against. freedom of. against. our political and electoral system extra hours to come on military issues head turbo to confiscate joining us from kiev thank

in catch crimea ukraine ukraine's navy said six of their sailors were wounded russia says only three crewmen were injured and are receiving medical care ukraine called the incident an act of aggression and has proposed introducing martial law but country on a war footing clash happened in a narrow strait between russia and crimea a point of international tension since russia annexed the region four years ago. a confrontation at sea russia excuse the ukrainian navy of acting like bandits what followed state ukraine was an act of russian aggression. a russian coast guard ship opened fire on them seized three ukrainian vessels it happened in the black sea off the coast of crimea after the russian ships blocked access to the sea of as of the of the nato carriage street which separates the crimean peninsula from the russian mainland although a bilateral treaty gives both russia and ukraine access tensions are going to see have escalated since russia's annexation of crimea in twenty fourteen and the opening of a bridge linking the two earlier this year this latest incident has led ukraine'

i would also like to say that since crimea has been touched upon, although crimea is not on the security council's agenda, i would like to underscore that if you know who crimea belongs to, for us -- it is not a question anymore whether you like it or not. no sanctions will change our opinion. that issue was closed after the crimeans voted in a free election and referendum to become part of russia. that was a referendum on self-determination. many people are asking did they know what would face them given the current geopolitical and to -- anti-russian project in ukraine? of course, people have no illusions. does russia regret what has happened? no, in no way shape or form. furthermore, i would like to say the majority of russians are proud of what has happened because we have sought to protect rimea. if we had not done so, they would be subject to what other people are being subject to at the moment. these are russian-speaking people who protected the area from the fascists. there's also a need to mention, and i didn't mention this in my previous statement regarding the proper topic, th

well terry obviously before the russian accession crimea twenty fourteen you had ukrainian control crimea on the western side of the strait and then the russian mainland of the eastern side and they shared control over this waterway to the sea of us all of which then also see is shared by ukraine by. then the russian side since russia took over crimea basically they have also had defected control over access the sea of as of something that ukraine in the west of the do not recognize but this is crucial not just for crimea this is not just something about sovereignty in an abstract sense this is also about us about the other conflict that ukraine has with russia because tens of thousands of jobs depend on the pull. of being able to get trade in and out if it's the sea turns into a military zone with no real access from outside that could really destabilize the situation in the east of ukraine where it had seemed in recent months that things had become calmer and more stable and that was sure when they're speaking to me a short while ago. mexico says it's deporting scores of migrants who tr

i would also like to say, that since crimea has been touched upon, although crimea is not on the security council's agenda, i would like to underscore that the issue of crimea belongs to, for us, the crimean's, it is not a question anymore whether you like it or not, no sanctions will change our opinion that issue was closed after the crimean voted in a free election, and referendum to the come part of russia. that was a referendum determination. many people are asking, did they know what would face them? given the current geopolitical anti-russian project in ukraine? of course people had no illusions they knew it would happen, does russia regret what would happen? in no shape or form furthermore i would like to say that the majority of russians are proud of what has happened, because, we have sought to protect crimean's, if we had not done so, then, they would be subject to what the people in dumbbells are being subjected to at the moment, these are russian- speaking people who protected the area. there is also a need to mention, and i did not mention this in my previous, statement regar

and abuses against countless ukrainians in crimea, as well as stoking conflict that has taken the lives of more than 10,000 people in eastern ukraine. it shows no sign of decreasing. witnessed this weekend is yet another reckless russian escalation. let's be clear about what is known. ukrainian ships set sail from one ukrainian port to another ukrainian port. they attempted to do so by the only possible way to go, through the kerch strait. both russia and ukraine used the routinely, but this time russia decided to prevent passage of the ukrainian ships, rams them, and then opened fire on them. this is no way for a law-abiding, civilized nation to act. impeding ukraine's lawful transit through the kerch strait is a violation under international law. it is an arrogant act that the international community must condemn and will never accept. in may, the united states condemned russia's construction and opening of the kerch strait bridge between russia and occupied crimea. the united states condemned russia's harassment of international shipping in the sea of azov, and the kerch strait. cont

well the problem is the defacto russia controls crimea russia considers crimea its territory and crimea controls the straits which are connecting the new terrain in with the story of the black sea with the hours of c. a smaller kind of league right near the south in the regions of russia so when the ukrainian ships approached the straits without warning without saying that they were on their way to the ukrainian base in the isle of c. . near the russian border guards interpret that breach of border as a bridge of national territory the problem is that ukraine doesn't see crania as russian territory so it's a question of kind of a legal dispute. until now the ukrainian navy respected a defacto situation that dropshots control crimea and you should be kind of on time when you want to cross the straits but just. really well the sea it sounds are there are certainly throwing a water isn't and both countries have the right to use them even though we know that russia controls both sides of the strait right now and let me ask you what you think will happen at the u.n. security council meeting

but they did not address the geopolitical status of crimea the military status of crimea would it be possible under any circumstances for you to imagine that russia would simply say that from now on we do not want to have access to the black sea russia investigated moving the headquarters of the black sea fleet and found that the conditions at novara see school are not. deal for this they signed a. lease agreement with the ukraine and extended it in a rather controversial action in the ukrainian parliament in two thousand and ten more controversial among the ukrainians and so there was a legal arrangement and legal status for the russian fleet and russian military presence inside ukraine in crimea that was in place well before two thousand and thirteen two thousand and fourteen and was recognized by the rest of the world it was moving ukraine territorial and i think that a lot of westerners had a real problem with as you mentioned for many in the west. russia's takeover of crimea was pure and it's a sion but i'm sure you know that for many in russia it wasn't just the land grap it wa
