Yesterday the Russians killed a Bangladeshi citizen on the «Banglar Samriddhi» vessel, which was in the raid near Mykolaiv, and the day before they took the HELT (Panama flag) dry cargo ship hostage. The Russians use the vessel "HELT" as a shield in order to hide behind it from the Ukrainian anti-ship weapons, because the Ukrainians do not shoot at civilian objects. Yesterday, because of the open channel on the safety of navigation, Russian Navy ships repeatedly dictated illegal demands and threats. For example, a Russian warship announces a ban on mooring at the outer roads of the Ukrainian Black Sea ports from the Danube to Skadovsk. Moreover, it reads their names from outdated navigation charts, where Ilyichivsk is still uncommunized instead of Chernomorsk, Pivdennyi port is still Yuzhny, and Zaliznyi Port instead of a quiet resort town appears to be an industrial monster with its own raid.

Russian military pirates threaten any civil vessel with using weapons. They neglect the right for peaceful navigation and treat any civil vessel as the menace of terrorism. The military navy of russia try to meanly use civil vessels as a shield in order to treacherously prowl the coastline of Ukraine. In a week time the pirates took 4 ships hostage in the Black Sea. One of the vessels was Afina having the flag of Ukraine on. The pirates threatened with weapons and made her leave the territorial waters of Romania (one of the NATO members). Occasionally, russian troops shoot down civil ships when shelling the southern regions of Ukraine. The tanker, "Millennium Spirit" (Moldova), carrying 600 tonnes of diesel fuel, is still burning in the coastal waters of Ukraine. The tanker was bombarded with a russian rocket on February, 25. The crew members were wounded and evacuated by Maritime Search and Rescue Service of Ukraine.

The Russian Navy impedes extinguishing the fire and preventing ecological catastrophe due to fuel spills.

It is worth mentioning that the international maritime community already regards Russian military sailors as Somali pirates if not even worse. In response to their threats, Russians constantly hear curses and traditional wishes to follow a well-known course - "Go f*ck yourselves!"

The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, within its competence, records the facts of the international maritime law violations, the decisions on which must be made by international courts.

Currently, the border guards, along with other departments of the security and defense sector, continue to defend Ukraine, defend its borders and independence.
