Naval service

Zhovti Vody 24.3.2014 and Cherkasy 26.3.2014 were captured by Russian troops on Donuzlav Lake. They never entered Russian Navy and Russian Government invited Ukraine to take them back, but later, when Ukraine initiated civil war in Donbass, Russian Naval Staff announced that Ukrainian ships will be returned when war in Donbass ends.
