The situation on the Azov Sea is not in favor of Kiev.

A little more, and Moscow completely ban the Ukrainians in the inner water area, which is shot through by coastal artillery. Such an ominous picture was presented to the Ukrainians by the Deputy Minister for Temporary Occupied Territories, Georgiy Tuka. Ukraine is inferior to Russia "in the military component". "It is not in our interests and power to start a war at sea," the official said in an interview with the Observer.. He "does not see much sense" in the creation of a naval base on Azov. "Of course, you need to have a presence in the Sea of ??Azov, to designate - if necessary, we can give the change. But from a strategic point of view, this base does not matter, due to the presence of the Kerch Strait. Russia is able to simply block the movement, and then just all the ships in the Sea of ??Azov will remain there. Moreover, its territory (the Sea of ??Azov) is controlled and swept by both coastal artillery and missile systems, "said Tuka. The deputy minister has not yet decided whether Ukraine should terminate the agreement on the joint use of the Sea of ??Azov with Russia. "There are arguments both for and against. The fact is that in Ukraine there are few experts in international maritime law. The fact that all kinds of deputies are speaking, journalists are not a professional assessment.. Before making decisions, it is necessary to weigh the consequences.. People who call for an immediate break, they appeal to the fact that international maritime law will immediately come into force, 12-mile zone. However, in this case, they forget to add that Russia will declare the Kerch Strait exclusively its economic zone ", - said Tuka. In addition, the official fears that in the case of the delimitation of the water area into the exclusive economic zones, part of the deep-water fairway, through which large-capacity vessels enter the ports of Berdyansk and Mariupol, will become Russian. Moscow may interfere with cleaning up the fairway from silting, and in general, it may stop letting Ukrainian ships along this route. "In addition, no one takes into account the fact, even if the international law of the sea is broken and the international law of the sea begins to operate, there is no guarantee that Russia will agree to this and demarcate the maritime borders.

She will not do this, since she has ignored the procedure on land for more than 20 years, and she will also behave on the Sea of ??

Azov, "the deputy minister concluded. The situation in the Sea of ??Azov escalated after the commissioning of the Crimean Bridge. Ukraine accuses Russia of seizing its ships, whereas our country refers to an agreement in force between countries whereby border guards can inspect any ship in the water area.. In order to "resist the Russian aggression", Kiev decided to build a naval base on the Azov Sea and began to transfer patrol boats there by land. In addition, the teachings of the Ukrainian army.
