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 shipping to the Black Sea.
Soskin claims that Ukraine has lost the ability 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 the neighboring countries in Eastern Europe, which block the export of grain, have given the Ukrainian leadership a serious blow in the back. In his opinion, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky was not prepared for such a turn.
During the last 24 hours, the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy announced 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 Black Sea Fleet ships and Crimean infrastructure.
