“Russia brazenly demonstrated its capabilities to blockade all ports of Ukraine” – Tuka
With exercises in the Black Sea last week, Russia demonstrated its capabilities for a complete naval blockade of Ukraine.
Deputy Minister for the Affairs of “Occupied Territories” Georgiy Tuka stated this on the air of the “Direct” TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the official, the Russian Federation has blocked all seaports of Ukraine and access to them from the Black and Azov Seas.
“On Thursday, from 7:30 am to 20 pm, the Russians actually blocked Odessa and Izmail. Allegedly, they were conducting military exercises in that water area - from Tarkhankut to the Danube. Thus, any communication in the Black Sea was absolutely impossible. They brazenly demonstrated their ability to block absolutely all ports of Ukraine,” Tuka said.
Ранее announced the blockade of Odessa local media outlet “Dumskaya”, owned by Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexei Goncharenko, who previously positioned himself as a defender of the rights of Russian-speaking residents of Odessa, and is now one of the members of the Poroshenko Bloc.
And Andrei Klimenko, a member of the “Maidan of Foreign Affairs” who fled from Crimea, published data indicating, according to him, a blockade of Ukrainian ports Mariupol and Berdyansk on the Sea of Azov.
