Russia using Sea of Azov as war theater – Kuleba

Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba says Russia dictates the situation in the Sea of Azov and uses the area as a war theater.

The minister addressed the issue in a comment to The Washington Post, as reported by Ukrinform.

“In terms of security, the Sea of Azov is dominated by Russia,” Kuleba told The Washington Post. “And in case of war, it will be heavily used by them to put pressure on our southern cities on the Azov shore.”

“Under the current circumstances,” said the foreign minister, “of course Russia dictates the situation in the Azov and basically uses it as a war theater.”
