Ukraine’s Navy Slavutych crew prevented the capture attempt by armed persons.

“Armed persons in a boat came to the ship but the crew repelled their attack. There was even the attempt to board the ship, capture her, arms, and sailors,” informed Capt. 2nd Rank Vitaliy Zvyahintsev, Commander of Surface Ships Brigade, Ukraine’s Navy.

Now, the ships of the Russian Federation Black Sea Fleet continue blocking the Ukrainian Navy ships in Crimea.

All the military units and ships of the Ukrainian Armed forces deployed in Crimea follow the orders of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

bbc has this as breaking news, as well.

You'll note the release is in ENGLISH? I wonder who that is meant for?

Now things are starting to get interesting. I fear this could be the match to start the fuse of WW III.

You don’t take over a ship with a boat.

Looks like disinformation.

What language would you prefer? Russian—in order to inform them that they or their minion tried to seize the ship?

“You don’t take over a ship with a boat. Looks like disinformation.”

It’s a Civil War. The sides are still breaking down, and people are still trying to be non-violent.

Eventually, it won’t be.

Don't say that to Captain Phillips.

To answer you, I’ll tell you they put it in English so the French can understand it. But you can quit wondering why when you get a higher IQ. That’s why BBC does shows in English.

Yah, I would argue that the presumption is rather strong that a press release in English is intended for an English-speaking audience.

Russian Black Sea Piracy on display.

Their soldiers don’t wear identification and are illegal combatants per Geneva Convention and international law. So it comes as no surprise their sailors also mask their actions in the guise of common piracy.

From the article

“Armed persons in a boat came to the ship but the crew repelled their attack.

It says they had a ship. Look again!

It’s rude and insulting to provide news about Soviet (oops, Putinista) aggression in English.

Ahh grasshopper, learn to go to source of BBC article as per your posted link. Or look at html source which includes language selection. End of mystery, yes?
