Ukraine plans to send navy ships through the Kerch Strait, an official said in an advance notice to Russia on Friday.
That’s the same location where Russia’s military opened fire and seized three Ukrainian naval vessels last month, further escalating tensions between the two countries.
In revealing Ukraine’s plans, Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak told reporters that the movement had to occur “otherwise Russia will fully occupy the Sea of Azov.”
Ukraine occupies sea ports on the Black Sea and on the Sea of Azov. The bodies of water are connected via the Kerch Strait, which separates Crimea from Russia.
