Turkey announced the intention of US ships to pass through the Bosphorus

“The United States, as a party to the Montreux Convention, has followed the procedures stipulated by the convention for passage to the Black Sea.

Turkey, in accordance with the convention, sent its participants a notification about the passage of warships from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea and vice versa, ”the agency was told.

As specified, the Montreux Convention, which was adopted in 1936, preserves the freedom of passage through the straits for merchant ships of all countries both in peacetime and in wartime.

At the same time, the regime of passage of ships of the armed forces is different in relation to the Black Sea and non-Black Sea states.

For example, ships of countries that do not have access to the Black Sea can stay in its water area for no more than 21 days.

Also, restrictions on class and tonnage have been introduced for them.

On April 8, CNN, citing a source, reported that the United States is considering sending ships to the Black Sea in the coming weeks to support Ukraine amid "Russia's increased military presence on the eastern border."

The material specified that the deployment of ships in this region would be a "special signal for Moscow," which the United States is "watching closely."

As stated in the Kremlin, Russia does not pose a threat to any country in the world, including Ukraine.
