“The Sea of Azov is forever lost to Ukraine.
Ports in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions will never again be Ukrainian.
I am sure that after the reunification of our regions with Russia, the Sea of Azov will again, as it was before, become an exclusively inland sea of the Russian Federation,” Rogov told RIA Novosti.
Earlier, Rogov said that after the final liberation of all the settlements of the Zaporozhye region, the region will take a course towards integration with Russia.
At the end of May, a dual-currency zone was introduced in the liberated territory of the Zaporozhye region.
