Russia is delaying 104 ships at the Kerch Strait

Russia is delaying 104 ships at the Kerch Strait, Oleg Slobodyan, spokesman for Ukraine’s Border Service, reported for Monday. “The Russian Federation passes only a few vessels going to Ukrainian ports in the Sea of Azov,” he said. “At the same time, those that go to Russian ports – freely flow through the Kerch Strait.” The EU Council on Foreign Affairs met in Brussels Monday to discuss what measures to take – if any – to compel Russia to restore freedom of navigation to the binational Azov.
