Kovitidi believes that Turchinov's statement is caused by the approach of presidential elections in Ukraine, and that for this reason the country will long be feverish from "falsehood, false policies and false news". On August 10, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov Turchinov said that Kiev will strengthen its military presence in the Azov Sea, as Moscow is trying to "start the military and economic blockade of the Azov coast of Ukraine". As proof of his words, Turchinov referred to the construction of a bridge across the Kerch Strait and several detentions of Ukrainian ships.
