The Ukrainians "uncovered" the main reason for alleged attempts by Russia to block access to ships across the Kerch Strait to the ports of Berdyansk and Mariupol - the Dnipro water that Kiev blocked in April 2014 after a referendum in the Crimea. So, perhaps, there is seen a Russian blackmail. In a word, the tower on the tower. Such assumptions were expressed by Ukrainian reporters in the report of the TV channel "1 + 1". The authors, citing experts, argue that Moscow has transferred small warships to the region in order to "economically strangle" large Ukrainian ports in Azov. In connection with this, the Nezalezhnaya could use artillery boats of the Shmel project in the Sea of ??Azov, similar to which Russia allegedly relocated from the Caspian Sea to Kerch to protect the Kerch Strait and the region as a whole. "We could also throw them from the maritime guard from the Danube to the Azov. They can also be transported by land, "- said the head of the Ukrainian militaristic center Taras Chmut. Correspondent of the TV channel Alexander Zagorodny, referring to the opinion of analysts, argues that in this way Moscow is achieving clear concessions from Ukrainians from Kiev. "Experts say that the neighbors are so quietly hinted: the water. It is here that this Dnieper water. If Ukraine had given a little of this water to the Crimea to the Russian soldiers, then perhaps they would have been more supportive and compliant on Azov, "the journalist said.. And I doubted whether it was worthwhile to believe the Russians, and whether it is necessary to make such concessions. Earlier in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine have already stated that the media artificially warm up the situation with the inspection of the Russian border by ships in the Sea of ??Azov. However, recently the Minister of Infrastructure of the Nezalezhnaya Vladimir Omelyan said that Kiev was negotiating with the West to impose sanctions against the Black Sea ports of Russia because of the alleged "blockade" of the Azov Sea.
