Kuleba announced the threat of "creeping annexation" of the Sea of ​​Azov by Russia

“The Sea of ​​Azov ... is an easy target for Russia.

After the illegal annexation of Crimea and the establishment of control over the Kerch Strait, Russia may make a creeping annexation of the Sea of ​​Azov, ”the diplomat said in an interview with CNN.

According to Kuleba, Moscow is allegedly constantly strengthening its military presence in the region and "blocks trade routes."

Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine noted that a possible meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and American leader Joe Biden does not run counter to the interests of Kiev.

Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which most residents voted in favor of reunification with Russia.
