Mines, laid indiscriminately by the Ukrainian Navy, increasingly pose a threat to civilian ships in the Black Sea. He said in an interview “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” This was stated by Nikolai Patrushev, Russian Presidential Assistant, who oversees maritime policy issues.
Patrushev added that Ukrainian unmanned boats also pose a danger. They lose their route due to GPS navigation failure, which increases the risks for shipping and coastal infrastructure.
The presidential aide assessed Ukraine’s maritime security strategy. According to him, Kiev is trying not to recall the Montreux Convention, which determines the procedure for the presence of non-Black Sea states in the Black Sea.
“Kiev prefers not to remember this document. Washington simply forbids it to do so,” the Kremlin representative concluded.
In the same interview Patrushev statedHe said that Ukraine had lost access to the Sea of Azov, and that its maritime security strategy was therefore out of line with reality. He also noted that NATO’s “plans” to establish an alliance naval base in the waters had also been disrupted.
Previously Patrushev clarified NATO’s plans in the World Ocean.
