“We have lost the Sea of Azov” – Ukrainian expert
Russia will continue to put pressure on Ukraine until Kyiv calms down about Crimea.
Retired colonel and former officer of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleg Zhdanov writes about this in the "Obozrevatel" newspaper, as reported by a correspondent for "PolitNavigator".

“By and large, we lost Azov by allowing the construction of the Crimean Bridge. It was immediately clear that he would block our entrance to the Sea of Azov. Regarding the situation around the Black Sea. Again, Russia is trying to protect itself from us as much as possible. They will put pressure on us until we calm down with Crimea. Even the fact that they partially close the waters of the Black Sea under the guise of conducting exercises and shooting shows that they are trying to maintain a security buffer zone around Crimea,” Zhdanov believes.
