Deputy head of the CAA Stremousov: 12 foreign ships cannot leave Kherson port

“These are mostly Turkish (ships. - RT ), there is also a Syrian ship and a ship flying the flag of the Seychelles,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Stremousov explained that the ships remain in the port, since the Ukrainian military mined the exit to the Black Sea through the Dnieper-Bug estuary near the city of Ochakov, Mykolaiv region.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense reported that the forces of the Russian Navy and the port authorities of the DPR ensured the first safe exit from the port of Mariupol of the Turkish ship Azov Concorde.

In May, the Aydınlık newspaper wrote that Ukraine blocked 21 Turkish ships in the port of Odessa.
