In Kiev, they are preparing documents to recover damages from Russia, which will impose restrictions introduced by the Russian Federation to complete the construction of the Kerch Prefecture. Half a billion hryvnia - in such an amount Ukraine estimated its losses from the planned for August-September 23-day suspension of shipping through the Kerch Strait, which Russia announced.

It is needed in order to conduct work on the construction of arched span of the bridge, which will connect the peninsula with the "big earth". And after its erection on a permanent basis, restrictions will be imposed on the passage in this area of ??ships with a large draft.

But in Nezalezhnaya state that these actions of Russia can damage the work of the Berdyansk and Mariupol trade ports located on the coast of the Azov Sea. This was reported by Deutsche Welle Deputy Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Yuri Lavrenyuk. Most ships entering them have drafts from 9.6 to 14 meters, the RF introduces a restriction to 8. According to him, the losses of these Ukrainian ports only from the 23-day closure of shipping will amount to half a billion hryvnia.

But, as the Foreign Ministry says, the construction of a bridge, to which Russia has not received "good" from Kiev, will also cause "physical changes" in the sea zone of Ukraine.

Kiev insists that Russia's unilateral introduction of restrictions on the passage of ships is an internationally wrongful act and it violates the sovereign rights and jurisdiction of Ukraine over the waters that it regards as the internal, territorial sea, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf in the Black and Azov Seas. The citizen intends to demand compensation for the damage caused. At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine did not answer DW, are the claims already ready and whether. The foreign policy department only says that they continue to collect evidence of violations by Russia of international conventions. However, with such statements in Kiev are not the first time.
