Russian warships fire on Ukrainian vessels (apparently)

Has anyone heard anything more substantial about this?

The Russians seem to be a bit toujchy regarding that new bridge of theirs. One ship loaded with explosives and being blown up under it could really make a scratch in the paint - and more.
Considering the status of Mariupol and its geographical location, we can expect more tensions about Ukrainian vessel trying to pass that area.

Yes, for security and navigational safety reasons we are running fairly tight regulations on how ships pass the straits now, you need (a paid) (locman) pilot on board and so on.
Interestingly Ukraine has just declared wartime (but did not close the border with Russia or end the ongoing trade and economic cooperation), which would allow Poroshenko to remove remaining opposition and get re-elected with single digit approval ratings. Makes one wonder if their Naval Forces behaviour could be related to that.

The UN has its flaws, so you think it would be better to leave or abandon the UN project altogether, and this will then be the end of problems?
I don't think so.

No I don't.
The root of the problem is clearly the annexation of Crimea by Russia. The point I was trying to make (rather sarcastically I admit) was that the UN have failed since the annexation first took place so what difference/effect will it have now.
