Russian Border Guards Detain Ukrainian Fishermen in Black Sea
The vessel's engine failed and it drifted to a town in temporarily occupied Crimea.
Russian border guards have detained two Ukrainian fishermen, Ruslan Romanyuta and Ivan Herasymenko, in the Black Sea. Ukrainian ombudsman Liudmila Denisova reported this on Telegram.
On January 25, Romanyuta and Herasymenko set out into the Black Sea on the fishing vessel Volga from Henichesk in Kherson Oblast and did not return home. According to preliminary information, the vessel's engine failed and it drifted to the town of Shchelkino in temporarily occupied Crimea.
Russia did not inform the Ukrainian side about the detention. Denisova said the detention of Ukrainian fishermen by the occupying country contradicts all international legal norms and appealed to Russian human rights commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova to take measures to free the illegally detained Ukrainians.
The Kherson Oblast National Police department has opened a criminal case under Part 1 of Article 146-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (enforced disappearance).
