According to him, the accession of the Crimea to the Russian Federation placed a special emphasis on strengthening the maritime component of national security and defense, thereby affecting the transport infrastructure and the economy of Ukraine.

"And this is the loss of exports in the US alone, one million tons of Ukrainian metal annually," the report said..

It is precisely because of the construction of the Kerch bridge that the Russian Federation has set limits on the parameters for passing ships from the Black Sea to the Azov Sea and back.

According to the Minister, this restriction leads to the loss of Ukrainian metal exports only in the United States at the level of one million tons per year.
