“Today, ships of the Ukrainian Naval Forces were treacherously attacked by Russian navy men.

Such actions of the Russian aggressor do constitute an overt violation of the Charter of the United Nations and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

The entire world has seen evidence of the Russian military aggression, which nobody can disprove from now on.

After all, the whole world saw a video of Russian warships attacking the Ukrainian vessels.

The Russian aggression against Ukraine has continued for some five years. The Crimea and part of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions have been occupied.  It is nearly every day that our military positions are shelled or machine-gunned by Russian terrorists in the Donbas.

It is obvious, the front of the Russian aggression has expanded and now it reaches the Black and Azov Seas.

In pursuance of the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine and the address of the President of Ukraine, I convene an extraordinary session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Monday, November 26, 2018 - at 16:00 pm".
