Ukraine has every chance to defend the Sea of ??Azov. This is convinced the president of the Jamestown Foundation in Washington, Glen Howard. Moreover, this operation can be exclusively peaceful, bloodless, with wide international support. The main thing is to involve not the army, but big businessmen, golden youth and ordinary citizens who are interested in making the Azov Sea Ukrainian. "Ukraine should organize a" Maydan at sea, "- offers Howard. - You have a lot of oligarchs who own big beautiful yachts that cost billions of hryvnias and stand in the port of Odessa. And on these yachts beautiful Ukrainian girls, big parties, - the American expert points out on the possibilities of the Nezalezhnaya. - (You can) send your yachts, fishing boats across the Kerch Strait, showing that you are unarmed ". Howard insists: "It should be a peaceful protest at sea, and Russia will not shoot". According to the expert, thus Kiev could achieve, at least, "a great propaganda victory," the "Apostrophe" quotes the words of an American. But alas! The Ukrainian authorities have "no imagination, no will and desire" for such an operation, states Howard. The only thing that Kiev is capable of is to cry and ask for protection from the West. "You grab your head and talk about America's help.

Why does America always have to do something for you?

"- angry Howard. Previously, representatives of the Kiev authorities put forward various ideas how to establish control over the Azov Sea. Even armed conflict with the Russian Federation at sea was allowed. But on the eve of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry made an unequivocal statement - the disputes should be settled with the help of available legal instruments, and the denunciation of the agreement with the Russian Federation on the Sea of ??Azov "can not be and speeches".
