Permanent representative of Crimea Muradov: Sea of ​​Azov has become a joint sea for Russia and the DPR

“The special operation allowed the DPR to reach Mariupol and liberate the southern part of the republic occupied by Ukrainian nationalists, thereby securing access to the Sea of ​​Azov.

So this is already a sea of ​​​​our joint use with the DPR, ”Muradov told RIA Novosti.

Earlier, State Duma deputy Mikhail Sheremet noted that Russia's special military operation violated NATO's plans to gain a foothold in the Sea of ​​Azov region.

At the end of March, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported that the country's armed forces had lost access to the Sea of ​​Azov.
