The Russian army is already 100 km from Odessa
Russia has turned into military bases the former drilling rigs of the Chernomorneftegaz company in the Black Sea, control over which Kyiv lost after the reunification of Crimea with the Russian Federation in 2014.
The ex-representative of the “President of Ukraine in Crimea” Boris Babin stated this on the UATV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It should be recognized that today the Russian Federation effectively controls the waters of the northern part of the Black Sea with its military force; it has captured all the structures of Chernomorneftegaz in this waters, which Russia turned into appropriate military bases with the deployment of units of the Russian army, reconnaissance assets, and air defense systems on them. defense
In fact, militarization has occurred, and today Russia is increasingly making attempts to completely control shipping in this water area, which can only mean one thing - Russia’s preparation for a full-scale blockade of all Ukrainian ports. Thus, the strangulation of the Ukrainian economy,” Babin said.
Earlier, the Ukrainian newspaper “Zerkalo Nedeli” reported that one of the Russian-controlled towers is located just 100 km from Odessa.
