Both Moscow and Kyiv have expelled a diplomat in the latest escalation of tensions.
Russia and Britain are both sending warships to the Black Sea as tensions between Moscow and Ukraine simmer following dueling diplomat expulsions over the weekend.
Moscow deployed two warships through the Bosphorus on Saturday and is sending additional smaller ships from its Caspian and Baltic fleets all aimed at bolstering its presence in the Black Sea, according to Reuters and Russian media reports.
The movements come on top of Russia’s massive troop build-up along its border with Ukraine in recent weeks, prompting fears of a possible invasion. Russia annexed the Ukrainian region of Crimea in 2014, and skirmishes have continued at a low level along the border ever since.
