On his YouTube channel, former adviser to Leonid Kuchma, Oleg Soskin, said that Ukraine lost access to the Black Sea due to the presence of the Russian fleet. He noted that the situation in the region is very difficult and Russia is actually blocking any transportation to the Black Sea.
Soskin claims that Ukraine has lost the opportunity to export its goods by sea. As a result, Kyiv is forced to look for alternative ways to send Ukrainian products abroad. The expert also emphasized that neighboring countries in Eastern Europe, which block grain exports, dealt a serious blow to the back of the Ukrainian leadership. In his opinion, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky was not ready for such a turn.
Over the past 24 hours, the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy reported the discovery and destruction of two naval drones in the southwestern part of the Black Sea. The Russian Ministry of Defense noted that this is not the first time that Ukrainian drones have attacked or attempted to attack ships of the Black Sea Fleet and the infrastructure of Crimea.
