Russia has banned the movement of ships through the Kerch Strait

Russia plans to block shipping through the Strait of Kerch from 28th to 31st August 2017 due to the construction of the Kerch bridge.

The corresponding decree was published on the website of the Kremlin-controlled administration of the ports of the Black sea.

“Deny from 00:00 local time on 28 August to 00:00 local time on August 31 sailing of all ships, except ships and vessels of the Navy, ships and vessels of the Federal security bodies, and courts involved in the process of construction of the object “Transport go through Kerch Strait” in a prohibited area in the construction area “Transport go through Kerch Strait” in the waters of the Kerch Strait,” – said in the document.

We will remind, earlier Russia banned the movement of all ships, except ships and vessels of the naval fleet ships and ships of Federal security of the Russian Federation, as well as the ships involved in the process of construction of the Kerch bridge.

In turn, Ukraine is preparing a lawsuit against Russia in connection with the loss of the ports of the Kerch bridge.

The Ministry of foreign Affairs of Ukraine also sent the Russian colleagues note in connection with the unilateral decision of Moscow to restrict the movement of vessels through the Kerch Strait.
