Russia is blocking 35 ships carrying cargo to or from Ukraine’s Azov sea ports Ukraine’s Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan charged Wednesday night. “The Ukrainian ports of the Azov Sea, Mariupol and Berdyansk, are actually blocked by the Russian Federation for the entry and exit of ships,” he writes on Facebook. “The goal is obvious – blocking the work of Ukrainian ports in the Azov Sea and gradually removing Ukraine from our legal territories, enshrined in international law.”
