Statements by three captured Ukrainians have been released by Russia’s security service after Russian ships seized three Ukrainian boats off the coast of Russian-annexed Crimea.

One of the men, Volodymyr Lisovyi, said he was aware of the “provocative nature” of the Ukrainian action.

Ukraine’s navy commander said the men had been forced to lie under duress.

Meanwhile, a Crimean court ordered the first two of the 24 Ukrainians seized on Sunday to be detained for 60 days.
