Russia attacks and seizes three Ukrainian naval vessels off the coast of Crimea in Black Sea
Ukraine mobilized all of its naval personnel and ships after Russia seized three of its vessels off the coast of Crimea, which it annexed in 2014.

Ukraine called an emergency meeting of what it called its war cabinet on Sunday after it accused Russia of having fired on three of its vessels in the Black Sea, injuring at least six sailors.

Russia's Federal Security Service, or FSB, confirmed that it seized what it called three Ukrainian naval "warships," saying they had trespassed into Russian territorial waters. It said "weapons were used to force the Ukrainian warships to stop," TASS, the official Russian news agency, reported Sunday night.

Donald Trump Says Ukraine Crisis Reflects Obama’s Weakness


KIEV, Ukraine – Donald J. Trump made a brief, unusual foray into foreign affairs on Friday, appearing at a conference here via a video link to suggest that the Ukraine crisis was rooted in weakness on the part of President Obama.

Mr. Trump, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, made two main points, both of which he repeated during about 20 minutes of questions and answers. Germany and the rest of Europe needed to do more for Ukraine, he said, and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia felt free to invade because he lacked respect for President Obama.

“Whether it is Germany or other countries, I don’t think you are getting the support that you need,” Mr. Trump said to mild applause.

“Our president is not strong — so far all we have is lip service,” he added. “Part of the problem that Ukraine has with the United States is that Putin does not respect our president whatsoever.”

Mr. Trump continually lavished praise on the Ukrainians, in particular his fellow billionaire Viktor M. Pinchuk, who had invited Mr. Trump to speak at his annual YES conference here. The two-day meeting gathers businessmen, politicians, academics and senior government officials mainly from Europe and the United States to focus on domestic and foreign policy issues in Ukraine.

“It is amazing what you have had to endure, you have had to endure a tremendous amount, and I just think it is all going to work out well in the future for the Ukraine,” Mr. Trump said, speaking from Trump Tower, with a window view of Central Park spread out behind him.

Mr. Trump did not win over the entire audience. First, he kept referring to the country as “the Ukraine” which patriotic locals find demeaning since they view it as a Soviet formula. They use just “Ukraine.”


“I am a little bit concerned whether Trump can find Ukraine on the map,” said Oleksandr Bohutskyy, the president of ICTV, an independent Ukrainian television channel. “The most important question for any American presidential candidate is how will you help Ukraine, and he did not say anything about that.”

inb4 Ukraine not an ally & enemies of the American ppl.
 
Maybe Obama can remind us again that the Cold War is over and get a few more laughs at any suggestion that Russia is a problem as he did with Mitt Romney.
 
Yes, Trump should be more concerned with Ukraine rather than his southern border being invaded by hordes of low income low class freeloaders...

NATO freeloaders in Europe might want to think about ponying up too.

Trump might check their account balance before helping out.

Oh, that's right, Macron is leading the charge for a "European Army." Gee, an army spearheaded by the French. What could go wrong there? They might want to check to see if the back-up lights on their trucks and tanks are working and in order. They will be needing them.
