The head of Crimea Sergey Aksenov is sure of it. He recalled that the conflict in the Sea of ??Azov began after the "piracy actions" of the Square. Aksyonov said that Russia, which opposes escalation in the region, reacts in this difficult situation within the framework of international law.. The head of the peninsula added that Moscow will defend its national interests at all costs. Aksyonov believes that Kiev is provoking Moscow to impose new sanctions against it. He once again stressed on his official Facebook page that the Ukrainian authorities do not understand that with these actions they are aggravating the situation in their own country, and not in Russia.. "We are against escalation in the region.

Therefore, Russia, using retaliatory measures, acts within the framework of international law.. But the Kiev regime behaves like an international gopnik. And Gopnik understands only the language of force ", - he wrote. Earlier, the European Union announced its readiness to introduce new anti-Russian sanctions if the situation in the region worsens. Recall that in March 2018 Ukraine detained the Russian trawler “Nord” in the Sea of ??Azov, and in August - the tanker “Mechanic Pogodin”.
