Russian navy ship moves towards sea shared by Ukraine and Russia

A Russian navy ship, the Vice-Admiral Zakharin minesweeper, was moving towards the Sea of Azov from the Black Sea on Wednesday, a Reuters reporter said.

The Sea of Azov, which is used by both Russia and Ukraine, is an area of heightened tensions after Moscow seized three Ukrainian naval vessels and their crews on Sunday as they tried to make their way there. (Reporting by Anton Zverev Editing by Andrew Osborn)
