Russia Even Ripped Out The Toilets Before Returning Ukraine’s Ships It Seized

The Ukrainian Navy’s top officer has decried the condition of three boats it just got back nearly a year after Russia seized them during a brief, but serious skirmish in the Kerch Strait, which links the Black Sea with the Sea of Azov. Ukraine says that the Russians stripped the two gunboats and tug of various fixtures, including mundane items, such as their toilets, and otherwise left them in disrepair.
