Zelensky should clarify his attitude toward detention of Russian tanker - Kosachyov

MOSCOW. July 25 (Interfax) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should clarify his attitude toward the detention of a Russian tanker at a Ukrainian port, Russian Federation Council Foreign Affairs Committee head Konstantin Kosachyov said.

"The circumstances have to be verified. Zelensky's position has to be clarified. Which Ukraine is the real one now? The one continuing to rattle sabers or the one seeking peace?" Kosachyov wrote on Facebook.

He commented thus on reports that the Ukrainian Security Service officials and military prosecutors detained the Russian tanker NEYMA, which, according to Ukraine, blocked the Nikopol and Berdyansk gunboats and the Yany Kapu tugboat belonging to the Ukrainian Navy during the incident in the Kerch Strait in November 2018.
