The three Ukrainian Navy ships, detained in the Kerch Strait last year for illegally crossing its border and handed over to Ukraine earlier this week, berthed in the Ukrainian port of Ochakov, the 5 Kanal TV channel reported.
"The Ukrainian ships returned home. After the captivity that lasted for more than a year, they entered the military port of Ochakov. Both the civilians and military came to greet them," TASS cited it as saying.
On November 18, Russia returned to Ukraine three naval ships: the tug boat Jana Kapu and two small armored artillery boats Nikopol and Berdyansk detained during the Kerch Strait incident. The procedure took place in the neutral waters of the Black Sea.
