Ukraine will raise the issue of the necessity of patrolling in the Black Sea during the NATO-Georgia-Ukraine Commission – Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze, Vice Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine said. Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze called Ukrainian soldiers detained by Russians ‘military hostages.’

The sitting of NATO-Georgia-Ukraine Commission will be held within the framework of NATO Foreign Ministerial on December 4-5.

Several Ukrainian servicemen were wounded when Russian FSB coast guards opened fire to Ukrainian ships on November 25.

The European Union said it was dismayed at the use of force by Russia against Ukrainian ships near the Kerch Strait on November 25. “The EU expresses its utmost concern about the dangerous increase of tensions in the Azov Sea and Kerch Strait in recent days which has led to the seizure of Ukrainian vessels and their crews by Russia and shots being fired at them, wounding several Ukrainian servicemen,” the EU High Representative said in a declaration on behalf of the EU on November 28. Ukraine declared 30-day martial law.
