In a tit for tat, Russia and Ukraine took each other’s ships hostage over the last 48 hours

In a tit for tat, Russia and Ukraine took each other’s ships hostage over the last 48 hours. On Wednesday, in the Sea of Azov, Russian officials stopped the Lizori, a vessel homeported in Mariupol. On the pretext that the 14-man crew was owed $11,230 in back wages, Russian authorities detained the vessel in the port of Yeysk and deported the crew back to Ukraine.
