⚡️We strongly protest Russia’s decision to block parts of the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait under the pretext of naval drills. The unprecedentedly large area of exercises essentially disables international navigation in both seas, leading to economic consequences in the region and for Ukrainian ports in particular. We are working closely with partners to ensure that such aggressive actions of Russia as part of its hybrid warfare against Ukraine receive an appropriate response, Ukrainian Foreign Minister spokesman. Among other intents, these sorts of exercises are a way to clear the skies of commercial air traffic.
