Mikhail Podolyak, chief adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine, said on the social network X (formerly Twitter) that after the incident, the country’s authorities were subject to mandatory inspection by the Russian side by Sukra Okan dry cargo. The ship to Izmail would draw conclusions and choose the “best” answer.
In an attempt to introduce a “marque of marque”, this precedent requires a clear legal determination, identification of all persons and recognition of a criminal phenomenon by the international community. “Ukraine will draw all the necessary conclusions and choose the best answer,” said Podolyak.
Prior to this, the crew of the Russian patrol ship “Vasily Bykov” had to fire warning shots after a cargo ship bound for the Ukrainian port of Izmail refused to stop for inspection. As a result, the ship nevertheless managed to stop and examine it. No hazardous material was found. More details – in the material “Newspapers.Ru”.
Last ship previously covered by grain agreement left Black Sea.
