In closed by the authorities of the Nezalezhnaya Crimean ports foreign cargo ships continue to arrive. This was outraged by the Ministry of Ukraine for Refugees. According to the agency's calculations, only in August of this year 34 cargo ships under the flags of the Russian Federation, Palau, Sierra Leone, Togo, Comoros, Tanzania were seen at the unloading terminals. Further, from September 1 to October 1, the Ukrainian side recorded the entry of 34 cargo foreign vessels into the ports of Crimea and another 5 - under the flags of Malta, Panama, Tanzania, Togo and Russia - visited the water area without mooring at the terminals. Kiev is not in vain so scrupulously watching the economic activities of a neighbor: as the agency recalls, in April 2014. Cabinet of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic declared the ports of Crimea closed.

Therefore, any ship not under the Ukrainian flag, approaching the peninsula, violates "the norms of international law ... undermining the sovereignty of Ukraine ... which entails the responsibility of shipowners, operators and ship captains, including criminal". In the spring of this year, the Ukrainian authorities detained and confiscated in their favor the Sky Moon ship, which was under the flag of Tanzania, and were on board 3 thousand. t of technical soda for previous calls to the ports of Crimea.
