Due to the full-scale Russian invasion, about 100 foreign-registered vessels and nearly 650 foreign sailors have been blocked in Ukrainian ports, said an adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Anton Gerashchenko. “We have lost access to the sea since February 24 because during the invasion, according to the Russian plan, their warships completely blocked the exits from all our ports. And there have already been several incidents in which the Russians sank ships with foreign registration that had left the port of Odesa.
