The Russian Federation has lifted the ban on shipping traffic through the Kerch Strait, introduced after yesterday's provocation of Ukrainian military sailors.
The director of the State Enterprise “Crimean Sea Ports” Alexey Volkov reported this in his blog, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
According to him, navigation along the Kerch-Yenikalsky Canal was resumed today at 3 am.
“The restriction that was in force since noon on November 25 has been lifted. Navigation along the Kerch-Yenikalsky Canal was resumed as normal from 3 am on November 26,” Volkov said.
Let us recall that the day before the Ukrainian military tried to transfer two small armored artillery boats “Berdyansk” and “Nikopol”, as well as the tugboat “Yany Kapu” from Odessa to Mariupol on the Sea of Azov.
Russian border guards went to ram Ukrainian Navy ships, closing the Kerch Strait to passage.
