BRUSSELS, Dec 3 - The U.S. and its NATO allies on Monday have strongly urged Russia to free the Ukrainian vessels and the crews captured last week in the Kerch Strait.
"There is no justification for this use of force," NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters Monday. "Russia must release the Ukrainian sailors and ships. It must also allow freedom of navigation and unhindered access to Ukrainian ports in the Sea of Azov."
