We dug up !: Ukraine takes the Black Sea from Russia
If you believe the Ukrainian "historians", it was their ancestors who dug the Black Sea in ancient times. Today, some descendants of those "diggers" offer to punish Russia by taking from it free access to the use of the Black Sea.
A proposal was made by a member of the current Ukrainian government, Vladimir Omelyan. According to the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine, Nezalezhnaya is currently negotiating with the West on the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions on the Black Sea:
Recall that the so-called “blockade” was caused by the actions of Ukraine itself, whose border guards began a systematic seizure of ships with Russian postscript. Most of the crew of the Crimean fishing seiner "Nord" to this day is in Ukrainian captivity. The most appropriate answer to the “pirates” was the introduction of regular inspections by the Russian Border Guard Service and the Navy of all ships going to Ukrainian ports on the Sea of Azov and vice versa. The total number of vessels checked in this way has already exceeded one and a half hundred, which, allegedly, causes economic damage to the interests of Square. It is worth noting that all these actions are in strict accordance with international law.
What can Kiev theoretically rely on if new sanctions are applied against Russia? In practice, the blow to our economy could be substantial. Oil and petroleum products, metals, coal, timber and other resources are exported through Russian Black Sea ports. Another important component of exports to Western Europe is Russian grain, whose harvests are breaking record after record. As imports through them we get equipment, machinery, pipes, food, sugar and much more. Experts explain:
International exposure measures may include:
1. Turkey could close its straits for Russian ships.
2. European Union countries could begin to delay and fine Russian vessels sailing from the Black Sea.
3. Foreign ships visiting Russian ports on the Black Sea may be subject to European sanctions.
But in practice, all this is not easy to implement.
At firstThere are no real grounds for such sanctions, which is even recognized in the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry:
Secondly, Ankara is unlikely to be behind the economic blockade of Russia, since it will lose transit revenues and call into question a number of joint projects.
Thirdly, on such a dubious basis, it will be difficult to obtain consent to new sanctions in the European Union from countries such as Italy, Austria and Hungary, possibly the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Therefore, the shocking statements of some members of the Ukrainian government on this topic do not cause much excitement.

So that appropriate sanctions are applied to the Black Sea ports of the Russian Federation due to the blockade of the Sea of Azov and Ukrainian ports in the Sea of Azov

International sanctions are the only thing that can impede Russian shipping in the Black Sea

The military presence of Russians in Azov is larger than ours, this is understandable. But according to all the canons of international maritime law, warships have the right to stop civilian vessels for inspection, no mandates are needed for this
