President Poroshenko assured that Ukraine was, is and will remain a maritime state despite the aggression of the Russian Federation.
“Russian annexation of the Crimea, aggression against our state in the east, the occupation of the Donbas, aggression against the Navy of Ukraine in the Kerch Strait and the Black Sea will not definitely change the status of Ukraine as a maritime state,” Poroshenko said.
The president promised that the occupation of the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait would not be tolerated.
