"It is established that the dredger is carrying on a dredge vessel with a home port in the city of Tuapse, Russia, which belongs to Trans Services Maritime," Lutsenko said.. He specified that the sand produced by the ship is used "for the illegal construction of the Occupied Bridge" in the Kerch area.
