Thus, Moscow is trying to exert political and economic pressure on Ukraine. This was stated in the UNIAN commentary by the assistant to the head of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine Oleg Slobodyan.
“The Russian Federation gives way to vessels, but still the time of delay of vessels is quite large, according to our information, in the Kerch Strait, there are in turn 104 vessels on both sides, which plan to pass the Kerch Strait,” he said.
“As for the dynamics, the Russian Federation misses only a few vessels that go to the Ukrainian ports in the Sea of Azov, at the same time as those who go to the Russian ports – they follow the Kerch Strait unhindered”, added the assistant to the head of the State Border Guard Service.
