Ukraine in The Hague: Kerch Bridge restricts international shipping, it must come down
Ambassador-at-Large at the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Anton Korynevych said this in his speech at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, where Ukraine started presenting its position at the hearings in the case concerning the violation of the rights of the coastal state under the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea), Ukrinform reports, referring to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry's website.
"Russia wants to take the Sea of Azov and Kerch Strait for itself, and so it has built a great gate at their entrance, to keep international shipping out while allowing small Russian river vessels in. Russia now views the Kerch Strait, the Sea of Azov, and perhaps even parts of the Black Sea, as its proprietary waters. Russia wants these waters to be viewed as part of its 21st century empire. And while you will hear Russia’s experts say the Sea of Azov is similar to a lake or a river, Ukraine does not accept this, and neither should this Tribunal. The Sea of Azov is not a lake or a small river delta. It is over 37,000 square kilometers of semi-enclosed sea," Korynevych said.
