There is more tension between Russia and Ukraine, this time at sea.
Russia has closed all naval access to the Kerch Strait. Ukraine said the closure is illegal and violates a treaty.
Moscow has said its forces are conducting military drills in the Strait, following the mobilisation of tens of thousands of Russian troops on the Ukraine border in recent weeks.
There is a treaty between Russia and Ukraine agreeing to equal access to the Azov Sea, but Russia said it has the right to close the strait for military exercises, exercises that will go on until the end of October.

#Russia #RussiaUkraineTensions #KerchStrait
Very good news
How? Some Russians consider the Ukrainians to their next of kin. Others would simply call them Russians.
In both cases this antagonism has torn open a crack between the two countries.
The Russian Federation simply wants to survive by any means necessary. The Republic of Ukraine is very similar in that regard. I think this action is counter productive.
Unless the real reason is to mutilate their neighbors. You can get quite a lot of support by reinforcing an ‘Us vs Them’ viewpoint.
@Erik Thomsen If Ukraine leaves Donbass alone there will be peace.
@Russian Power A border adjustment would certainly be possible among the post-Soviet states. Poland and Czechoslovakia managed to solve their problems despite a history of warfare regarding the subject.
The only problem is that open rebellion is not particularly helpful when deciding where the new lines should be.
Yet the use of force has lead to odd limbo where Donbass is arguably under siege, directly under sanctions and ultimately lacks the benefits of operating within either country.
Who agrees swapping Crimea with Alaska for the sake of peace?
@Roger Tracks you are stupid
Lmao it makes no sense.
What about swapping Putin for Navalny
Alaska should be a indipendent nation
@Modi Superpooper 2020 I know that but that land is part of Ukraine but the people are Russian. I said “annex” because Russia controls the land that has an owner.
Annexation, a formal act whereby a state proclaims its sovereignty over territory hitherto outside its domain.
Now you know…
NATO should move double the troops on the Ukrainian border now
No, thanks.
Why do you want so many nato troops dead?
That means more body bags, and man nappies, the poor snow flakes are worried enough as it is now.
@Roger Tracks This glorification of death and violence is just sad. If you were digging the trenches, you’d probably be pooping your pants, mate. Easy to type this using your cellphone.
Now Russia is going to test there weapons after syria.
@geoff obrienUSA Angels of goodness. Pls stop don’t bring the show from CNN BBC FOX etc we know who they r working for only spreading propaganda for warmongers
@binu sd LOL !
@geoff obrien When confronted u guys do the usual thing. Its not misinformation but u “missed information” The whole world is laughing at u cant clean the junk in ur home & street then claiming to be worlds peace fake lovers
@binu sd The worlds laughing at YOU , you can only afford to fire one cruise missile at a billion dollars , where’s your money oligarchs have it in western banks . just a joke go scrabble in the snow for something to eat
@geoff obrien one nuclear missile is enough to takeout ur corporate empire. Now its clear ur doing PR job for those warmongers. Ur pathetic a laughing stock look urself in the mirror and maybe u can eat filth from the streets of Nampa and be satisfied
🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🙏🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🙏🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
Russia’s next move: annex the Sea of Asov
Why not drain it ?? (lol)
They should take it
Russia deserves to annex Asov sea to part of its territory, the man who help his country and his people can annex Asov sea.
@Gregor Heisenhorn Russia has never won a war 🤷♂️🤣🇺🇸 we’ll end up helping
@ΞLΞVΛTΞ They won WWII by 70% all by themselves, not Russia but URSS. So don’t talk garbage.
There is no Kreml trolls here! Nooo!
(Sarcasm)
you are cia troll, he?
@Ken you are nobody’s because you are not aware of your ignorance.
@Sijuks Grozni
Sigh! This is for grown ups my child
@Raven Ravenich
Goddag yxskaft 🙂
@Charlie Zelenoff
Not russian troll, Kreml troll, true Rossians are awesome.
Russia is making its move by provoking Ukraine
Wake up dumb one: Ukraine, did declare war on Russia.
If Ukraine opens the water supply to Crimea then the Russians would become friendly…
Now you know what’s coming to you satanic liberal monsters)))))
Worst pm in the world Modi
Like in the movies, bomb it!
Stop all this nonsense!
Do not forget, humans are weak, one wrong move and we are all wiped off the face of earth!
Where is the love? Why so much hatred? Why wasting insane amount of wealth on dangerous activities instead of health and education!?
The above questions are for those “leaders” that cannot communicate anymore face to face,, as in the eyes of the world they “would have no balls to do stuff”
You didn’t seem to mind when to nuclear power were killing each other. China and India are going to go at soon again, you say they same thing people might listen you this time.
if Ukraine would open the water supply to Crimea they might find Russia more welcoming on the strait
@The Plastolithic Past
Two questions:
First:
What has the willingness of the Ukrainians to join the EU, which was the reason for the Ukrainian regime change, instead of the Eurasian union to do with “Western Power”?
Second:
There was a treaty in which the Ukrainian Republic has given back all Ukrainian atomic weapons to Russia. Therefore it has got a guarantee of it’s borders after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Why this doesn’t seems to matter to Russia just 20 years later?
@Frank TheTank “not one inch eastward” assurance about NATO expansion – that is why it doesn’t matter 20 years later. Ukraine joining EU is a pattern that we have seen elsewhere, justifying and leading to NATO expansion “to protect their members”. Ukraine allowed itself to be played, same as others like Bulgaria and Georgia. Their long-standing desire to poke Russia in the eye blinded them and as a result they got scr3wed. Too bad for them. Better luck next time.
@The Plastolithic Past
Where do you have found that claim, that NATO wouldn’t allow independent countries to join?
Is there any treaty about that?
You know about the history of the Baltic nations?
@Frank TheTank Do you really think that if Russia gave Crimea back and stopped supporting the Donbas republics, that Ukraine would invite “independent” EU observers and give them a chance to vote for their independence? 🤣🤣🤣
@The Plastolithic Past
I don’t talk about EU, but the European Council.
And yes, of course, if the inhabitants of the Krim do want to join Russia in a referendum this will happen.
In the Donbas there’s the problem of the people living there.
Who has lived there before the “civil” war and who lives there now.
You can compare that with Cyprus and Morocco (Western Sahara). This will be difficult to solve.
But anyway.
First there has to be an autonomy in that regions and then there will be a possible referendum after a few years.
Trump is not in Office. So, anything can happen. Biden and Harris, what they can do against Russia and China ?
Did ever ask yourself why did Putin want trumpster fire in the wh?
Trump’s agressive policies were good?
Put their masks on , so you cant see them laughing
@Russian Power Certainly, but not really aggressive . Trump is not a Politician. He knows when to step on the toes of China, Russia, North Korea etc. Cheers !
@Jarno L I replied to you. My reply was deleted. I cannot find it !
How about to close bosphorus for Russian ship
Cowards know there limits, so it will never happen.
And who dare will close it? Turkey?it will be the last of erdogan unfortunately
Great nation. 🤣 They will never change. Sick place
Ukraine have no grounds to object, they haven’t complied with the Minsk agreement so why should Russia comply to this so called treaty.
Knowing Ukraine’s President’s background/early life is more than enough to know the whole situation
@Boby Ford he’s a clown
@keakiwi Wrong he was a clown now he is a puppet.
@Aesop agree that as well
I love Russia till the end of October
GO Russ

@geoff obrien hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
Ukraine president an rely on Russia than USA and Turkey
A war wil make Ukraine like Iraq and Syria
I hope the won’t take such idiotic steps by going against Russia
If you don’t want a war in Ukraine, then Russia has to stop making aggressive moves
@Modi Superpooper 2020 they are going to become a comedy piece very soon
@Duffy63 Ukraine must stop its advancement towards NATO
And stick to Minsk agreement properly
@Dev Anand Ukraine is a sovereign country, it can do whatever it wants with its foreign policy. Russia should stop interfering in Ukraine’s internal affairs then
@Duffy63 Ukraine may be a sovereign country in past its under soviet Union you ppl had common agenda
Now its finding a new alliance which is going against your past
Your present allies will drop you in critical position
Biden acts like Chinese agent NATO is not with him fully
NATO promised not to expand itself with in soviet republics wht happened to tht promise
Thts not fair on part of NATO
You want go with NATO why
Its for irritating russian ppl
Im dam sure USA will use Ukraine to test its new weapon systems
Then Russia will pound ukraine
The over all loss is to Ukraine only
My common view Europe maintains their border peacefully and they enjoy all kinds facilities
Wht all other countries don’t do this in this world???
🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
Russia closes Krech for covid pandemic,bcoz western virus don’t enter Russia.
Why don’t Ukraine just blow up the bridge simple an easy done then no one can use the WATERS its there land just like Putin said we can do what we want on our land..so Ukraine take note blow up the bridge its your land👍
Woohoo Russia is amazing,,👍👍👍👍🤗
yes , light the candles (lol) happy birthday
Russia under Putin is doomed
@Юрий Молчан Yes, we would take Nawalny. Refugees welcome.
@Renee Giese Russia’s economy is fine. It is not great but it is fine. Once China has a better economy than the USA things are going to get much better for Russia too. It’s only a matter of time.
@IΔΜΜΞ So, that’s the reason for low average income, low social security, weak currency……? A fine economy.
@Renee Giese The cost of living is significantly less in Russia compared to the West. How is the Russian currency weak? Please explain.
@IΔΜΜΞ The Ruble is at his lowest point compared to the 5 world leading currencies in the last 20 years . Read the charts.
UK SHOULD BAN RUSSIAN VESSALS USING THE ENGLISH CHANNEL, ANS THE IRISH SEA
@Юрий Молчан Correction , UK is one of the vassals of NATO . The greatest fighting machine of the world with 30 nations ready to fight as one.
You Need to check the previous 1000 years history between Russia/Ukraine/Ottoman Empire etc, maybe you will all wake up
The U K does not have the balls to stop Russia
@Truth Seeker Equally Russia does not have the balls to attack UK
@geoff obrien there can only be one aggressor, why is the UK 1000,s of miles away from home,.
I’m sure if ukraine opens the Pivnichno-Kryms’kyi Channel (North Crimean Canal) then I’m sure Russia will open the Kerch Strait.
@74Drive Oh you poor thing, now deleted your comment, pathetic…..
@Oleh Sul You Oleh Sul are a well known Troll. Also your argument makes no sense.
@Oleh Sul LOL You are so funny Oleh but you’re losing this battle.
@Darlene O’Malley I strongly disagree, “Also your argument makes no sense” is not an argument at all. Troll started to feel unconfident and called his buddies lol
@John C I don’t see here any battle, just having fun answering riduculous comments
Tell the truth!! Nato wants to get into the area to attack Russia and occupy Crimea and Donbass, its obvious that Nato has crawled up to Russia’s borders. !!
Interesting power play by Russia. Humiliating loss for Ukraine.
@Rozeswoesh It did appear that Russia backed down under NATO pressure. At best, it was a stalemate for Russia.
@peabase. Bluffing.
@peabase Stop believing in conspira ies. Russia said from the onset that the troop build up was Russian exercises in its own country. Exercises were finished and so Russian troops went back to their barracks. Why is it so difficult for you to understand that. By the way, assuming that Russia had gone ahead and invaded Ukraine, what could Nato really do. Absolutly nothing.
@Seno Maganu Russia would have been bogged down in a never ending guerilla war
@geoff obrien No one’s claiming Russia really intended to attack. It’s just that armies prepare for the worst and escalations do happen.
Russia is a giant with feet of clay. Russia can’t afford sustained warfare in Ukraine. It would be yet another Soviet-Afghan War type of scenario. That one bankrupted the USSR — Russia would undergo the same fate.
Blow the bridge up
Love thy neighbor. Ukraine should play it smart and be humble. If and when you are in trouble i think no one would risk helping you out.
Help Ukraine, no more destabilization.
Ukraine is ruined by greedy globalist bankers, Hunter Biden scammed millions
Ukraine will be sacrificed by greedy western leadership. They deserve it.
Was Aljezera bought out by the BBC?? Sounds like it, refusing to acknowledge that Crimea is a willing member of the Russian Federation and was never annexed’ or ‘occupied.’
BBC charge their viewers a UK Government enforced annual license fee to be brainwashed with false propoganda!!
The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly deemed it an illegal annexation. If Russia wanted to do the pro-Russian Crimeans a favour, it didn’t. They find themselves in international limbo now, citizens of a pariah state within a pariah state.
They could’ve just moved
RUSSIA should be carefull.on the nlack sea/ UKRAINE borders because the famous terorist/rogur states in the world the dictator/communist US/ EUROPE/ISRAEL are still inside the UKRAINE teritory waiting for an blizkrig assaults
No it not like Russia no that they can overwhelm Ukraine’s forces pretty easily in the east of Ukraine that not the problem Juancho. The problem is the sanctions, the west still has an ace up its sleeve with it comes to Russia. Otherwise Russia would have invaded Ukraine by now.
Next stop: Odessa and Constantinople
🇷🇺🇺🇦Pentagon spokesman John Kirby, commenting on the information about the blocking of a number of areas of the Black Sea, said that Russia’s actions are another attempt to destabilize Ukraine.
We call on Russia to end the pursuit of ships in the region and the buildup of forces along the border with Ukraine and in the occupied Crimea
You’re a joke
The man is right
And Russia answered clearly, concisely and precisely.
@Cincin Yes- they pulled back.
🇷🇺⚡Russia suspends for six months the right of foreign warships and other state vessels to move in three regions of the Black Sea. The restriction will take effect tonight.
🇷🇺🇺🇲Biden said that he was pleased with Putin’s call to work together on solving climate problems, the United States will count on such cooperation with Russia
🇺🇸🇹🇷🇷🇺 The USA excluded Turkey from the F-35 aircraft production program for the purchase of Russian S-400 air defense systems – Pentagon spokesman Jessica Maxwell.
Russia sucks
Genesis of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia:
In 2014 Ukranian president Viktor Yanukovych backed out of the “European Association Agreement” instead choosing to pursue closer ties with Russia. This led to a pro-system coup, backed by the Zionist occupied American system. President Yanukovych was overthrown and forced into exile in Russia. The system installed a puppet ruler who would make sure Ukraine remained their client state.
The Donbas region in eastern Ukraine that encompasses Donetsk and Luhansk refused to recognize the illegitimate puppet regime in Kiev. The puppet government in Kiev launched what they called a “war on terrorism” and attacked the east of the country. Viktor Yanukovych was a governor in Eastern Ukraine before he was President, and the region is mostly Russian speaking. When coup took place Russia responded by immediately annexing Crimea, then part of Eastern Ukraine rebelled and declared themselves independent.
There was a long back and fourth war in which the rebels (with Russian backing) were able to fight the puppet regime to a ceasefire that held until recently. Now the Ukraine government is moving to suppress the succession of the rebels, and Russia is poised on Ukraine’s borders. Russia’s mobilization is a warning to Ukraine that if it moves against the separatists in the East, there could be a direct war with Russia. Russia does not want the Donbas region, it wants them as an autonomous buffer between them and NATO (aka The System), and to protect the Russian speaking people in the area.
This post is a huge oversimplification of the situation. We haven’t even mentioned the ulta-nationalists, fascists, and natsocs fighting on the pro-system side of war, who were basically the only military units successful for the pro-system side. To make the macro point, imagine if Russia had launched a coup in Mexico, installed a pro-Russian puppet regime; and began sending military advisers to help them fight a war against a pro-America autonomous state on the American border. How do you think the Zionist occupied American government would react to that?
Could’nt get enough excuse to fully invade on land , now trying another way. It’s time now for ending the bullying
What do you expect – the Russians broke 9 local and international agreements, the first from 1753, that specifically made sure Crimea was part of Ukraine.
So what agreement do you think Russia will honour with regards to the sea.
Not really all that worried – Russia cannot hold onto Crimea – eventually the wisdom of the ages will prevail – being allies with Ukraine is more valuable than a semi hostile future NATO member.
Topee Drama
Exactly
Hutiya banane ki ninja technique
RUSSIA – USA TENSIONS
Those who dance to America will end up like this, Pakistan, India, Ukraine are example.
Anyhow aljezera concern of democracy is a world’s number one joke.
Al jazeera very funny talks democracy wow. But India is not siding US. Its plays smart knows geopolitical games
Russia is the problem and Nato is useless fools 😨
No Sheen what you don’t understand is Russia can’t feed itself, even if West restricts coffee, it could but coffee house out of business this would force Putin spend the States money trying keep a lot of these business from going out of business. Otherwise it might cost you 50 buck for pound of coffee in Russia.
CARNAGIE MOSCO CENTRE ???? , you have to be kidding right????
Russia we with you 🇷🇺 🇵🇰
Ukraine only acting on US policies… Russia is no push over.. better for Ukraine to give water back to Crimea and not let this escalate.
It not about Crimea, Amin this about trade if you live in Russia and all of a sudden meats prices start soring because the west restricts meat imports to Russia this will hurt the Russian economy and cause all kinds of problems for Russia. Russia will have to spend a lot of money just keep private business from going out of business.
@Tesla Student yes those are the implications of sanctions. Well at least I hope Russia and China learned a lesson when they abandoned their allies like Cuba and Iran when they imposed sanctions on them Russia and China pulled back… so now Russia and China know where their allies lie
Can the war just begin already
Yes let ww3 kick off im sure it will be a laugh…
@xGreenY600x I wouldn’t say that it would be fun, but the world needs it so people can appreciate what they have and not want to belong to a “oppressed group”.
Love to Russia! 🙂
This is not True: russia declares that the passage for ukraine ships is Open!!!! Russia is closing some open sea areas in black sea for safety reasons during military exercise. You provide fake News!
who gave them that authority is that not unilateral decision in respective if the situation
@Sam Rulz no
What is it then?
Babushkas say KGR‼️Keep ROSSIYA Great 🦾
The world gave that face when russian train their troops on their own soil ..😧
not internationally recognize region they annex it from Ukraine. To most country Ukraine still owns Crimea.
NATO broke its own promises and came to the borders of Russia, where its performs military maneuvers and exercises of allies. The sale of weapons to NATO members is more important than stability and coexistence.
Yes but remember Russia rely on food from the west. It works both ways if west put’s even a minor blockage on meats and other goods Russia will experience incredible inflation within it’s economy. That why this type of blockade is a double edge sword.
@Tesla Student Russia can shut down Germany by cutting of their gas so for now the EU can’t block Russia
Why don’t they all just start ww3 already?
We all know it’s planned out and inevitable so just go already.
So by blocking the straight, it prevents Ukraine from suicidal manoeuvres , That makes it Safer for Ukraine , The West and Turkey cannot blackmail Ukraine into war against Russia.
Happy Days 🛡️🛶🌪️🧭♥️
Oooooooooo i read a comment about a week ago from a russian that explained just this!😳
CRIMEA-RUSSIA!!!!
Ukraine’s Illegitimate Gobernment is Testing Russia’s Patience and I hope when Russia attacks those in Gobernment are the first in line to face the bear instead of calling America for help.
Russia is trash.
@Jose Saavedra ok so what’s your point?
@Truth Seeker There is no point, just stating the facts. Russia is a failure, a poor dirty country with no power whatsoever. It can only bark, if it dears to attack Ukraine it would be the beginning of the end of Russia. Just the sate of Texas is richer with less than a quarter of its population.
@Jose Saavedra do behave,
Russia protecting Ukraine from the west and the old ottoman empire,🙃🌪️🛶🛸🛡️⚖️🧭
I wonder why Russia and China are worrrying their neighboring countries. Is it really necessary for them to use military forces to show how good they are and why no country should try fighting with them…
But thr mighty military needs some thing to do.. they must be demanding some action… they can’t just sit idle.. laziness will eat into them.. look at American army they are everywhere middle East South China indian ocean eastern Europe Africa everywhere.. burning cultures killings ppl training Jihadis.. American army is everwhr no one seems to have a problem but when Russia and China do lil things ppl start predicting WW3
@Chandra Kanth Spot on, and so true.
Russia is trying to drag the US into a fight it seems. Us being the United Nations which will attack an ally to prevent nuclear war
Russia can’t invade Ukraine, so Putin will bully them instead. Putin is criminal.
🇷🇺✊✊✊👏👏👏
Lock it up Russia😂😂😂😂😂
for battle ships only
Good news reporting! No hype or distorting of facts.
Ukraine made a mistake thinking that Biden and Harris would back them. The US uses fools as cannon fodder. Never trust the USA, which is sold out to Big Pharma and the industrial- military complex.
I enjoyed your video, i am actually tired of worrying about stock and stuff…. It’s driving me nuts these days I think crypto investment is far better than stock

Bots loool
Is russia the bully or usa ? Poor ukraines
@Al Jazeera • Clear reporting. Thanks for covering this topic.
Closed to war machines. But not closed to cargo ships….And especially closed to the western nato warmonger ships.
Russia is just picking on Ukraine cause it the only country in europe weak enough for them to bully and they desperately need to appear strong even if its compared to Ukraine cause just like Ukraine, corruption is eating Russia from the inside out and probably worse so. Russia is like the New North Korea of Europe They are gonna spend the next century threatening war constantly rattling their cage to escalate tensions just to get attention from the US and the world community so they seem important and under siege for domestic propaganda reasons and maybe try and extort the EU with it.
Sorry. Russia should be a world player. It has the power, the extreme cultural depth and an excellent leader.
Its not true.
Why do you keep repeating “the Russian annexation” of Crimea? There was No Annexation, the citizens of Crimea held a referendum and chose to join Russia, which is only natural since most of them are Russian. Why no talk about the English annexation of Scotland end Ireland? Not to mention Gibraltar, the Malvinas and so on.
Because England annexed Scotland and Ireland centuries ago, they won Gibraltar fair and square in a war and they colonized the Falklands. I don’t see anything he could talk about.
Ahh yes. Good old Russian bully is back.
Russia is good 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
I think you guys don’t have another option… go to brazil 🇧🇷 🙂
Anyways the territorial waters stops at the Kerch strait, and the Azov sea is Russian territory. So the Ukrainian can’t really do anything. Blame Poroshenko the puppet and his gangsters paradise.
Russian Fisherman Separatistas will Occupy Ukrainian waters in the Azov Sea….declare the Federal Republic of Azov….and go to War with Ukrainian Fisherman…… Putin declares Red Line to Ukraine and Western Powers….if Ukrainian Fisherman are caught fishing in the Newly Declared Separatist Federal Republic of Azov. Ukrainian Fisherman will be seen as hostile forces encouraged by Western powers.
That’s what you call a kicker in poker. That’s one for the books. 6 months and no sea access for two Ukrainian ports
Anyone else get that Putin speech as Declaration of War vibe 🚀
Serves Ukraine right for being NATOs b*****
Putin Gone Insane
Russia is not Zimbabwe, Iraq, or Yemen. It’s not Grenada or Haiti.
Russia is not going to be intimidated by a chest-beating schoolyard bully.
This can only end badly for the U.S., its allies, and the rest of the world.
Russia Bullies it’s Neighbor’s
Russia 🇷🇺…love from India.
Russia should have been dealt with during or immediately after World War II even though it was recognized at the time as a Potential Threat it was ignored
Ukraine should have never agreed to the destruction of their nuclear Arsenal after the fall of the USSR countries treat with you differently when you have nuclear Arsenal this is one of the reasons why China does what it wants it can Slaughter its citizens with impunity and the Us and other countries just go tisk tisk Kim Jeong Hoon tisk tisk at this stage I can’t even blame Iran if they wish to have nuclear weapons when you are a small country you are the Mercy of anyone else who wants to come and screw you over.
Putin is a coward!
political Drama. HEY USA, its time to start a war with Russia to make sure they know they are the little brother
Putin is really putting the screws to Ukraine. But i doubt even this will get the results he wants politically.
Crimea Russia 👍🏼
Russia Bullies all it’s neighbors, but it goes after one specific target at a time (that’s what bullies do – they single out the weak). Russia continues to leach Ukraine’s resolve and weaken it before confiscating more control. Unfortunately, NATO has a very weak leader right now, so Russia is only taking advantage of this vacuum.
