Ukraine: Russia blocked the ports of Mariupol and Berdyansk
In accusations against Russia, Ukraine goes further and further. So, the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Volodymyr Omelyan said that Russia allegedly blocked the Ukrainian ports in the Sea of Azov - Berdyansk and Mariupol.
On his Facebook page, the Ukrainian minister wrote:
Vladimir Omelyan claims that Russia acts on purpose, provoking further tension in the waters of the Sea of Azov. This is necessary for Moscow in order to oust Ukrainians from the Sea of Azov.
In fact, it is Ukraine that plans to create a naval base in the Sea of Azov that could threaten Russia's national interests. Boats and ships of the Ukrainian Navy are being transferred to this base - the Gyurza artillery boats were delivered to Berdyansk by rail, and those detained by Russian border guards tried to navigate through the Kerch Strait.
In the meantime, the Crimean maritime services have denied reports from the Ukrainian side about blocking the Azov ports and claim that work is being done on actual weather and in the established mode. A Ukrainian vessel applies for passage through the Kerch Strait, awaits approval, and then calmly proceeds in the designated direction.
