One hundred days. As of March 5, the Ukrainian sailors captured by Russia on November 25, 2018, had spent 100 days as prisoners of war. The men were seized off three Ukrainian Navy vessels – the artillery boats Berdyansk and Nikopol, and the sea mule tugboat Yany Kapu – as they were sailing in the Black Sea toward the Azov Sea. The incident near the Kerch Strait was a clear violation of international law and an incontrovertible act of war. The Russian coast guard first rammed the tugboat, then fired upon all three ships and took the ships and all aboard into custody. Since then, the men – who have been charged with trespassing on “Russian territory” – have been POWs. They face sentences of up to six years in prison.
