Whatever happened with that burning ship? It went quiet so I’m guessing accident? Plus with the vessel’s registration I don’t think it was really in the conflict anyway?

U.S. to stop complying with nuclear pact with Russia after talks flop | Reuters

BEIJING/MOSCOW (Reuters) - The United States will stop complying with a landmark nuclear pact with Russia as soon as this weekend after last-ditch talks with Moscow to save it fell flat, a senior U.S. arms control official said on Thursday.
Washington has long accused Russia of flouting the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), alleging that a new Russian missile, the Novator 9M729, called the SSC-8 by NATO, violates the pact, which bans either side from stationing short- and intermediate-range, land-based missiles in Europe.

Comedian who plays Ukraine's president on TV leads in real polls there

In what he hopes will be a case of art imitating life, Zelensky stars in a popular TV series, "Servant of the People," in which he plays a history teacher who is elected president after his rant about government corruption goes viral.

Zelensky has become one of the most recognized faces in Ukraine's entertainment industry in his more than two decades as a comedian, actor and producer. And while he plays a president on TV, he has no actual political experience.

But with five weeks to go until voters head to the ballot box on March 31, a recent poll suggests Zelensky is the front-runner, with more support than the incumbent, Petro Poroshenko, or another candidate, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
Educated as a lawyer, Zelensky is also a savvy businessman who many Ukrainians see as a self-made man, one whose wealth is the result of hard work.
But the political novice's popularity with voters has left pundits scratching their heads.

In other words, just like with Trump voters here in the USA, people there don't want a politician.

I was trying to look at it from what implication it would have from a foreign policy standpoint not really a nationalist standpoint.

This incident didn't just start out of the blue. There was a catalyst for this. It will be very interesting to see how this story develops over the next few days. I'm sure Ukrainian vessels have had access to the Sea of Azov since 2014, so undoubtedly, there was some shenanigans that were going on that the Russians may have gotten some intel about recently. Western interests transferring arms to the Eastern Ukrainian provinces possibly?

Seems fishy

Making excuses after denying it. Classic
