UKRAINE DEMANDS ACTION AFTER RUSSIA SEIZES SHIPS

Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko demanded on Monday the release of its vessels after the Russian military attacked and seized three Ukrainian navy ships in the Black Sea.

The Ukrainian leader, who held a meeting with his top military and security chiefs overnight, called Kremlin’s actions unlawful.

Ukrainian parliament is set to vote on Monday on whether to institute a martial law, which would restrict civil liberties and give state institutions greater power.
