    Russian warning shots at cargo ship are 'clear violation of international law', says Ukrane

    In our 4.04pm post we brought you developments from the Black Sea, after a Russian warship reportedly fired what are described as "warning shots" at a civilian cargo ship bearing the flag of Palau, because it apparently refused to stop.

    You can read our full write-up of the incident here.

    Well Kyiv has responded, in the form of President Zelenskyy's top adviser, the ever-vocal Mykhailo Podolyak.

    Mr Podolyak described the incident as a "deliberate attack" and a "forced inspection" by Russia.

    He said it was "a clear violation of international law of the sea, an act of piracy and a crime against civilian vessels of a third country in the waters of other states".

    "Ukraine will draw all the necessary conclusions and choose the best possible response," he added.
