Courts in Crimea have imposed a two-month detention on 24 Ukrainian sailors captured by Russia after three Ukrainian ships crossed into Russian territory last week.
Tass, Russia’s state-owned news organization, reported Wednesday that a court in Kiev arrested nine of the sailors that were captured when Russia seized three Ukrainian ships.
On Tuesday, courts in Crimea imposed two-month detentions on the other 15 sailors who were captured.
Russia took Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, raising tensions in the region that were heightened again when Russia seized the three Ukrainian ships last week.
On Tuesday, NATO released a statement urging Russia to immediately release the sailors.
