The name of the Ukrainian Navy ship “Donbass” was not chosen by chance, it contains “malicious intent”. This opinion on December 10 in an interview with Izvestia was expressed by political scientist Yuri Kolomeytsev, commenting on the recent approach of the ship to the Kerch Strait.
“It goes without saying that the name of the vessel was chosen for a reason. I think this is not an accident, this is the most real malicious intent. Why was it done? I think the technologists worked here and they thought that the name Donbass can be used as a kind of technology to influence the minds of Ukrainians, those who live in the territory of Donbass, and of course, the citizens of Russia, ”the expert said.
According to him, this name was chosen to remind of the war in Donbass, in which, according to the Ukrainian side, Russia is the “aggressor”. As noted by Kolomeytsev, the Ukrainian authorities are trying in every possible way to prove this, but the success of these attempts remains questionable.
Also, Kiev in this way is trying to induce foreign partners to provide financial support, the political scientist is convinced.
Earlier that day, political scientist Viktor Burlakov told Izvestia that the incident with the approach of the Ukrainian Navy ship Donbass to the Kerch Strait would complicate relations between the two countries. According to him, this event can be viewed both as a provocation and as an attempt to test the strength of the border troops of Russia.
The incident with the Ukrainian ship took place the day before. The Public Relations Center of the FSB of the Russian Federation reported that the command ship “Donbass” of the Ukrainian Navy, located in the water area of the Sea of Azov, was moving towards the Kerch Strait, approaching it by 18 nautical miles. The ministry stressed that these actions created a threat to the safety of navigation. Later, the department reported that the command ship “Donbass” of the Ukrainian Navy lay on the opposite course.
At the same time, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov indicated that the Ukrainian ship is in the Sea of Azov legally, since this is a shared water area.
