The Crimean bridge, which will connect the peninsula and the Kuban, continues to bother the minds of the Ukrainian politic and forces the current authorities of the country to make harsh attacks on Russia.

Ukraine no longer intends to calmly look at the construction site of the century and intends to apply to all possible instances. This was stated by the deputy head of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine Yuri Lavrenyuk at a meeting with representatives of trade unions of sea and river ports, according to the website of the agency.

"Construction of a bridge to the Crimea through the Kerch Strait leads to losses for the Ukrainian economy". We collect all necessary documents for the court, "Lavrenyuk said, adding that the country will submit the first lawsuit to the international court.

On assurances of the official, having started such a large-scale construction, Russia "did not put Ukraine in notice", significantly restricted shipping on the Kerch Canal.

"All this led to the losses of the Mariupol and Berdyansk commercial ports, at the present time the funds received are being calculated," the Ukrainian minister said..

Currently, according to Lavrenyuk, Ukraine "highlights the problem of blocking the Kerch Canal and imposing restrictions on the ship's passage in the framework of already created lawsuits against Russia" in order to form an independent package of documents to international judicial instances.

"The Ministry of Justice of Ukraine decides this problem jointly with the Foreign Ministry and the National Security and Defense Council," Lavrenyuk said..

Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation Maxim Sokolov said that the transportation and installation of certain structures of the Kerch bridge would entail a restriction of navigation However, a one-time suspension of the fairway will not exceed three days.

On July 10 the builders of the Crimean bridge started laying the asphalt. At the end of June it was reported that the construction of the bridge across the Kerch Strait has been carried out by more than 50 percent, and the main components of the road section of the bridge are ready for 70 percent. Earlier in the same month, the assembly of the railway span of the bridge was completed.
