Ukraine – Police stop an escorted Russian truck carrying anti-ship missiles on Tuesday. The missiles were being taken for decommissioning, but Ukrainian police said that Russia’s Black Sea fleet had not coordinated any actions with the Ukrainian Navy. The Black Sea Fleet claims the police were not informed by the Ukrainian Navy and that they had documents allowing them to transport weapons for decommissioning.
The Russian Navy has been operating in Ukraine under a 1997 lease agreement which expires 2017. Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko seems more than eager to let the agreement expire.
