Tensions continue to escalate between Russia and Ukraine after Russia captured three Ukrainian ships over the weekend. Ukraine has asked NATO and Germany to send ships to the Sea of Azov. On Monday, Ukraine imposed martial law in parts of the country. Meanwhile, Russia reportedly plans to send more long-range missiles to the region.

Russian President Vladimir Putin: “There is obvious evidence of a provocation prepared in advance and devised as a pretext to impose martial law in the country. It has nothing to do with attempts to settle relations between Russia and Ukraine. This game is meant to increase tensions. This is foul play on internal policy in order to suppress political opponents.”

A Kremlin spokesperson has said that a planned meeting between Putin and President Trump at the G20 summit in Argentina is still set to go ahead Saturday after Trump indicated Tuesday that he may cancel following Russia’s confrontation with Ukraine. Trump is set to arrive in Argentina today.
