Kyiv cites either the provocation with “Nord” or the Crimean Bridge, the rapid pace of construction of which Ukraine itself provoked, as the reason for the deterioration of relations with the Russian Federation in Azov.
Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov stated this on the Rossiya-1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The Kerch Bridge was built, but why was it built? If it were not for the blockade of Crimea, which was organized by Ukraine, this bridge, perhaps, would still be in the design stage. After all, why was it built at a record pace? Because they left no other choice! Now they blame Russia.
Accordingly, again, we are told that the root cause (of destabilization in the Sea of Azov - ed.) is the Crimean Bridge, and then they say it is a provocation with “Nord”. So “Nord” or bridge? “Nord” was not captured from behind the bridge! Moreover, the property of the Crimean collective farm, what kind of Ukrainian property?” - said the political scientist.
“Now they are trying to push him out of the auction, and it’s clear why. What to do with it next? He won’t go anywhere outside the port, because Russian border guards will immediately arrest him. For scrap! There is no more use for this ship. They won’t fly him somewhere by plane,” Kornilov added.
