Michael Yon Blocked by sunken Russian ships, Ukraines navy stays defiant Russia has deliberately sunk three of its own ships to block Ukrainian navy vessels into a lake off the Black Sea, officers say, highlighting Moscows determination to wear down the morale of Kievs forces in Crimea. The Ochakov -- a Soviet-era warship decommissioned in 2011 and set to be sold for scrap -- was towed to the entrance to Lake Donuzlav on Crimeas western coast from the Russian base at Sevastopol on Thursday and blown up. It capsized and, along with two smaller Russian vessels, is now blocking the narrow gap between two spits of land, its hull beaten by rough Black Sea waves. spacedaily/reports/Blocked_by_sunken_Russian_ships_Ukraines_navy_stays_defiant_999.html
