\nUkrainian president Petro Poroshenko has called on NATO member states to send ships
\nto the sea around Crimea and on the EU leaders to take all necessary measures
\nto put pressure on Russia, including by tightening sanctions, in order to put
\nan end to what he called the ongoing annexation of the Sea of Azov and the
\nKerch Strait and to restore Ukraine’s territorial integrity, according to the
\nBBC. In Moscow, Russian president Vladimir Putin made his first comments about
\nthe Russian-Ukrainian naval incident in the Kerch Strait describing it as a
\nminor border incident. The foreign ministry in Kiev has sent a letter of
\nprotest to the Russian foreign ministry, requesting the immediate release of
\nits sailors, whom it considers war prisoners. A court in Simferopol, the
\ncapital of Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014, placed nine sailors in
\ntemporary detention until the 25th of January, pending trial. A
\nsimilar decision was taken on Tuesday for 15 sailors. Three of them are in a
\nhospital in Kerch. France Presse notes that this is the first open military
\nconfrontation between Moscow and Kiev since the annexation of Crimea.<\/p>\n

\naccording to a study by the European Central Bank, which is a sign that the
\nworsening of the economic prospects is starting to affect loans, Reuters notes.
\nCorporate loans went up by 3.9% in October, the slowest growth pace since May,
\nafter an increase of 4.3% in September, the highest since the crisis. Analysts
\nbelieve these data will not affect the intention of the European Central Bank
\nto halt in December the public and private bond acquisition programme worth
\n2,600 billion euros launched in the last three years, or its plans to raise the
\ninterest rate next year for the first time since 2011. The study published by
\nthe European Central Bank comes after other indicators have also showed a
\nslowdown of the eurozone economy.<\/p>\n
