Ukrainian authorities should avoid attempts to revise the status of the Sea of ??Azov in order to avoid violation of the Square International Law.

And Brussels and Washington to stop indiscriminately accusing Moscow of allegedly illegal actions in relation to foreign courts. Finally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation responded to the recent thunder and lightning of Kiev’s western friends on the situation in the ancient pool, noting that Moscow is ready for a constructive dialogue on this issue.. "The Russian Federation would like to warn Ukraine against attempts to revise the current status of the Sea of ??Azov as inland waters of two countries contrary to international law.. In this regard, we urge Kiev to refrain from any adventures aimed at the unilateral establishment of the state border in the Sea of ??Azov, which Russia does not recognize, "the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement released on the website of the agency on Wednesday, November 21.. Moscow warns that "responsibility for the possible further exacerbation of the situation in the Azov-Kerch water area falls on Ukraine and the states supporting its provocative actions". Also, the Russian Federation categorically rejects all accusations that our border service is committing some threatening actions in the region against foreign courts.. "Russia regrets that the confrontational course of Kiev on the destabilization of Russian-Ukrainian relations is supported by a number of states, including the countries of the European Union. Russia resolutely rejects any accusations against aggressive and illegal actions in the Sea of ??Azov and the Kerch Strait, "the Foreign Ministry said. They recalled that the events held by the Russian side in Azov comply with international standards and are aimed at ensuring the national security of the country and "are commensurate with the threats posed by extremists, including Ukrainian, against Russia".

The statement emphasizes that the Sea of ??Azov is an internal water resource of the Russian Federation and Nezalezhnaya, therefore, only for Russian and Ukrainian sailing ships there is free shipping.. Kerch Strait in accordance with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea of ??1982. never was and is not international.

And all the checks of the Frontier Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation are carried out there in respect of foreign ships legally. The fact that their number has increased is due to the opening of the Crimean Bridge - these are just the necessary security measures for the transport facility, and not the desire "to exert political or economic pressure on Ukraine, as they try to present in Kiev, Washington and Brussels".

Moreover, they stressed in the department, Russian ships are also being inspected.. "The examinations themselves, as a rule, do not exceed 3 hours. Temporary losses are often associated with a special order of navigation on the KEK (Kerch-Yenikalsky Canal), due to its specific dimensions, complex hydrometeorological and navigation conditions. In the Sea of ??Azov itself, ships stop for inspection relatively rarely and only if there are compelling reasons ". Russia denies the statements of Kiev and Brussels about Moscow’s increasing military presence in the region. Contrary to the statements of Kiev and Brussels, Russia does not increase its military presence in Azov, just the opposite.. "The actions of Ukraine, which announced the creation of a naval base in Berdyansk and systematically closes certain areas of the Sea of ??Azov for artillery firing, are aimed at the militarization of the Sea of ??Azov," summarized at Smolensk Square. Recall that this Monday, for some reason, the foreign ministers of the EU member states were eagerly discussing the situation in our region.

After that, the head of the EU diplomacy Federica Mogherini spoke with threats against Moscow.

She announced the concern of Brussels with puddles and the passage of western ships along it and announced some "target measures" that Europe is ready to take in the near future.. Earlier, the EU gave birth to a resolution in which he expressed support for Kiev, saw an environmental catastrophe in the construction of the bridge, and wept that large vessels would not be able to enter the Ukrainian ports due to the new transport crossing. Not a word of reproach regarding Nezalezhnaya, whose frontier guards for some reason seize besides Russian, but also foreign ships with whole crews, were not recorded.
