No one can go through Kerch Bridge unnoticed, and there isn’t another way to pass through the Kerch Strait.
So, there is more than meets the eye.
Yes, that’s what floored me when I first heard of this document. That their command expected them to ‘covertly’ sail up the strait including under the bridge.
I assume that the commander of this 3 ship force called TBG No. 5 knew these orders were ridiculous when he was given them. Reality showed what happened. The ships were detected by radar or other means before they ever reached the 12 mile limit. The Russians have the complete track those vessels took. Both the Saker and Mr. Escobar have written that the Russians can track anything at sea in the Black Sea. Apparently the Ukraine command doesn’t read either the Saker nor Pepe Escobar if they thought these ships wouldn’t be tracked from the moment the left the naval base. This certainly hasn’t been possible since the invention of radar, and even before then a nation to which you regularly make threats would have had spies watching your harbor to then warn of hostile ships leaving the naval base. Its doubtful this would have worked back when a galley rowed by slaves was the latest in naval technology.
Given that he was given orders that were obviously doomed to fail, its no wonder this commander appears on the FSB video apparently being rather cooperative in telling them what happened.
You understand that these are Ukies, commanded by Ukies, ordered by Kiev Ukies who are commanded by CIA and State Dept numbskulls, and trained by NATO and US “professionals”, don’t you?
Doesn’t that explain the Mission and the Outcome?
It seems that any 7-year old would understand the Result when you send Ukies on a mission.
Well the real reason was to “create” an incident. They did that but egg all over faces.
Well played by Russia – hat off to Putin -well done.
I have an impression that they have sent fools to throw rocks in order to get rid of the elephant in the china shop.
To which one can add their UN ambassador’s claim that they got permission to pass thru’ the straits…..
Covert permission!
Hmmmm ..
stabilisation tasks….planned tasks..
Observe security while using weapons…and military equipment….hope Russian divers have checked ships for hidden and underwater explosive devices …might explain why the plot…..also to test responses and see how to get round them another time..
I wonder if they were thinking of using the channel between Tuzla island and the Taman peninsula. Their boats could probably have squeezed though if their draft was under 3m. Perhaps they hoped to get up fairly close to the bridge (legally) and then try for it. Perhaps just testing how awake everyone was. Seems a bit naive, knowing how the Russians would be vigilant and suspicious of anything getting close to their new bridge. Perhaps it genuinely was some gung-ho idiot officer (putting together this op) wanting to earn his spurs and make a monkey of Putin. It seems unlikely that anyone with much intelligence would have signed off on this plan.
Actually, I think the outcome of the incident gives us the biggest clue to the intentions of the perpetrators. They wanted a false flag under which any actions by Russia could be interpreted as “unacceptable.” Even Craig Murray wants to give the Ukraine and Russia equal credit for their side of the story, and he thinks Russia overdid it. I get the feeling he spoke without fully looking into the situation, but he thinks the FSB should have sent the crew back to the Ukraine with their ships within a couple of days. I think they should have publicly offered the crew asylum, But then, wouldn’t that open the door for saboteurs?
BTW, I went looking for this ‘canal’ since I hadn’t heard it mentioned before. I was wondering if there was another way through rather than right under the bridge? There isn’t. The ‘canal’ is simply a dredged ship channel through the otherwise shallow waters of the strait, and it runs right under the bridge.
Kerch–Yenikale Canal
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerch%E2%80%93Yenikale_Canal
Even the heavily deep-state edited Wikipedia says that this entire canal requires “compulsory pilot assistance”
And, understanding that this long stretch is nothing but a dredged channel fully explains the Russian rules for prior application and then the granting of a time slot for passage on a schedule. It is obviously unsafe to have unscheduled boats traversing a narrow ship channel at times that surprise scheduled traffic expecting clear passage.

“Confessed to deception”: users caught Poroshenko in a lie about “Russian aggression”
Author: Aliya Sadykova
Kiev, November 28. President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said that martial law will be applied
only in the case of ground Russian military aggression. About this he wrote on his page on the
social network Twitter.
According to Poroshenko, “as soon as the Russian soldier crosses the border,” he will not lose a
minute in order to “ensure the protection of the Ukrainian land.” Poroshenko’s subscribers found
in his statement a discrepancy with the position he expressed earlier.
Repeatedly, the head of state clarified that “the Russian military allegedly invaded the territory of
Donbass, where the military conflict is going.” Users Poroshenko caught in a lie about the “Russian aggression.” As noted by users, according to the new presidency, it turns out that there are no
Russian military in the Donbass. Commentators stressed that Poroshenko confessed to deception.
As one of the users wrote, Poroshenko is a “British oligarch”. According to him, “he has been
destroying Ukraine for four years and is enriching his friends.”
We will remind, earlier Poroshenko warned the people about “the threat of land invasion” of Russia.
“There are several pages here – a detailed description of all enemy forces stationed at a distance
of hundreds, or even tens of kilometers from our cordon, ready at any moment for an immediate
invasion of Ukraine,” the politician said.
Recall that on the eve of the three Ukrainian military vessels invaded the Russian territorial waters
in the Kerch Strait and began to make dangerous maneuvers, ignoring the instructions of the
Russian border guards. As a result, all three ships were detained along with the crews.
The Chief Military Prosecutor of Ukraine, Anatoly Matios, stressed that the country is not waging
war with Russia, as stated by official Kiev.
With such a statement Matios spoke on the TV channel “112 Ukraine”. He noted that, despite official propaganda, Ukraine is in favor of complying with the Minsk agreements in the Donbas and is not at
war with Russia.
“We are not at war with Russia — we are on the Minsk process, for the metastasis of unbalancing
our state to go no further,” said Matios.
The chief military prosecutor of Ukraine also added that Kiev does not present Russian prisoners
simply because there are no Russian military in the Donbas.
Recall that Kiev regularly makes unreasoned accusations against Moscow. In particular, Ukrainian
politicians declare a certain “aggression” of the Russian Federation in the Donbass and claim that
Russian troops are allegedly in the conflict zone. Moscow has repeatedly stressed that it has
nothing to do with the internal Ukrainian conflict.
Kiev launched a military operation against the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics in the
spring of 2014 after the DPR and LPR declared their independence. Since then, according to the
UN, more than 10 thousand people have become victims of armed conflict.

WORD and DEED / СЛОВО и ДЕЛО
In Kiev, they are holding backroom negotiations on the creation of a US military base in
Ukraine.
Kiev wants to locate the American base in the east of the country, or near the border with
the Crimea.
November 28, 2018 — Author A.G.
According to the newspaper “Izvestia”, which refers to its own sources in the government of
Ukraine, Kiev is currently negotiating with the US authorities on the creation of a US military
base in eastern Ukraine.
As the sources mentioned above point out, Kiev sees how similar negotiations take place
between the USA and Poland. At the same time, Ukraine has a much larger border
with Russia, therefore, such a base, according to Kiev, is necessary to strengthen the
country’s security.
Similar plans are confirmed by the Ukrainian People’s Deputy Ivan Vinnik, who notes that at
the political level, such a dialogue between Kiev and Washington is indeed taking place.

Foreign Ministry did not rule out the participation of the West in the provocation of Ukraine
in the Black Sea
November 28, 2018
Western partners could know about the provocation of Ukraine in the Kerch Strait or even participate
in its preparation. This was announced on Wednesday, November 28, by the official representative of
the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
“This is a deliberate provocation, which, I have no doubt, guessed — at least they knew — this is
realistic, and maybe some of our Western partners took part in the planning. This is all not of a random
nature, ”the diplomat said in the Big Game broadcast on Channel One.
Zakharova noted that this is confirmed by the assessments of what happened from Western politicians
and the information campaign that had begun in the Western media.
Earlier, a number of American and European politicians called on the EU to think about the introduction
of new sanctions against Moscow.
On November 25, three Ukrainian warships – Berdyansk, Nikopol and Yany Kapu – invaded the territorial
waters of Russia in the Kerch Strait and ignored the demands of the FSB border service to stop.
The Russian side had to use force to detain them. A criminal case was initiated, all Ukrainian sailors
were arrested by the court until January 25.
In Russia, the incident was called a provocation. Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the
Ukrainian authorities are taking such actions on the eve of the March presidential election.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that the purpose of the provocation was a scandal.
On November 26, the Verkhovna Rada approved Poroshenko’s decree on the imposition of martial
law in several regions of the country for 30 days. Experts noted that the president had the opportunity
to extend this regime for an indefinite period of time and postpone the election date. In addition,
residents of these areas will not be able to participate in the voting.

Imagine the “minds” that thought Ukie warboats would sneak past Crimea and sneak under the Kerch Bridge.
It takes an IQ of low double digits and NATO/Brit/US training to generate such an “adventure”.
Now, these assclowns in Kiev and Brussels, London and the Pentagon think a war would be brief and winnable against the Russian Federation.
Truly, a Special Olympics of Russophobia.
“Secondly, we should’ve shown, not hidden our face in the Kerch Strait and the Sea of Azov, and shown off the capabilities of those gunboats.”

I love that last metaphor! Makes me want to embroider it, frame it nicely and send it off as a special gift to certain relatives.
Who remembers the ‘Novorossiysk mystery’? The sinking of the battleship ‘Novorossiysk’- formerly Italian battleship ‘Giulio Cesare’ allocated to USSR after the surrender of the Italian fleet in 1945 -, in the port of Sevastopol, allegedly by the ‘Decima Flottiglia MAS’, the Italian commando frogman unit of the Regia Marina (Italian Royal Navy) created during the Fascist regime, who wanted to avenge the shameful surrender. Probably nobody will ever know, but the ‘Decima MAS’ remains a source of inspiration for all neo-fascist ‘warriors’.
It would be only a pleasure to go to war against these morons. Furthermore, if they were trained by 007-kind from UK, or yanks, that is even more interesting.
I believe in balance of the world:
The more tangent to perfection of US movie industry about their supra-dupa army means exactly the opposite in reality. Their incessant pouring out of superheroes movies, touching the insanity with their super abilities, only indicate poor psyche, or in layman’s terms, wishful thinking.
As Maugham once said, those who claim to be too virtuous, are in fact immoral.
Ah….the timing of the incident to establish “freedom of navigation” seems a little bit clearer..
..”Speaking at the second International Maritime Security Conference in Kiev, Igor Voronchenko, commander of the naval forces of Ukraine, said that the country’s authorities would ask Turkey to close the passage of the Bosphorus Strait to Russian warships…..”

https://www.smm-hamburg.com/en/conferences/msd/ in September…..maritime security conference at an exhibition of same…..For the seventh time the international conference on maritime security and defence (MS&D) was held in Hamburg during SMM, the world’s leading maritime trade fair. The focus of the international conference held on 6 and 7 September 2018 was on current and future challenges to maritime security and defence. Twenty renowned naval, industrial and science experts discussed topics such as how to protect international ocean trading routes, when and how to deploy naval forces on crisis missions, as well as cybersecurity issues.
The welcome address opened the event with sombre words as Rear Admiral Thorsten Kähler, Chief of Staff of the German Naval Command based in Rostock, deplored the loss of appreciation for the United Nations and the fact that the organisation’s efforts are often being undermined. Instead of the world’s nations treating each other with mutual respect, he said, a situation had arisen in which occupying foreign territories for the purpose of expanding one’s sphere of influence was getting the upper hand. His warning words were: “We are all in the same boat. The freedom of the oceans is a precondition for positive economic and social development in all countries.”

Seems to have extensive reports on China Russia and Iranian navies…….hmmmm
How long under the use or colour of International or even National Law can such hostage situation exist: US steals Ukraine, openly destroying it, proceeds to killing thousands of Ukrainians by stating they are Russian Ukrainians and therefor not Ukrainians. Destroys all it’s civilised structures such as schools, hospitals roads, rails, energy extraction (coal mines, workers), courts… Then as no-one outside of Ukraine, but Russia, complains, gets angry. Enraged, scared, the US begins to destroy the Ukraine main Christian religion over 1,000 years old also banning Russian men 16 to 60 years old from entering Ukraine during the holy Christmas season of 2018 to see their vulnerable family members.
A ban to be regularly repeated until the US is obeyed, religion self-denied? Since Russia during the time of the US theft killings (CIA and US mercenary, Xx, done) saved so many thousands of Russian Ukrainians, children first, they need to use the holiday season to revisit their former home-cities and families. The ban is a torture/vengence process beloved by US Intelligence agencies and is their signature as is the bombing of hospitals, school slaughters. Set up also in China, Syria and in the US. In other Regime Change counties too I’m sure. Russia next, which is why the US encircles it’s victims states entirely for years.
Since the wealthy EU is clearly become a victim continent as the turns away from the violent US increases, European tools to protect itself are desperately needed, not least of which would be trust in the Russian Federation as the Russian WW11 win is less than 100 years ago. Europe’s choices to support US propaganda rather than actual proven realities so limit Russian tolerance at least all sanctions on Russia can be refused by
Brussels then removed. A sincere apology is warranted as well! EU refusal to spread more US/UK anti-Russian propaganda could accomplish amazing global changes, global safety.
