One of many flash points where WWIII could start. Not surprisingly, Nostradamus wrote about this region and its involvement in WWIII, mentioning the Latin name of the Dnieper River that runs through eastern Ukraine, “Borysthenes” – as the first region to give way.
“Ukraine’s parliament is to decide whether to bring in martial law, after the capture of three of its naval vessels by Russia. The three ships were sailing off the coast of Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014, when they were seized. Ukraine said Russia rammed one of its boats in an “act of aggression”, while Russia said the ships had illegally entered its waters. The incident marks a major escalation of tension between the two countries.
This is the first time the two militaries have come into open conflict in recent years, although Ukrainian forces have been fighting Russian-backed separatists in the east of the country.
On Sunday morning, Ukraine’s Berdyansk and Nikopol gunboats, and the Yani Kapu tug, tried to sail from the Black Sea port of Odessa to Mariupol in the Sea of Azov. Under a 2003 treaty between the governments in Moscow and Kiev, the Kerch Strait and the Sea of Azov are shared territorial waters.”
“A UN Security Council meeting has been called for 11am tomorrow after Ukraine incident with Russia, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said in a tweet.”
“Ukraine’s government is requesting vote on imposition of martial law for 60 days” – probably to help make sure Russian soldiers don’t infiltrate their eastern border and help pro-Russian separatists.
