The Ukrainian minister called to “punch Russia in the nose and drive it back to its lair”
Until “Ukraine’s Western partners” punch Russia in the nose and drive the Russians “back to their lair,” the Russian maritime expansion will not stop.
Ukrainian Minister of Infrastructure Vladimir Omelyan stated this on Radio Liberty, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“The solution to the problem is to ensure freedom of navigation in the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait. It will not be otherwise, we are talking about this with both Washington and Brussels. It's not just about the Sea of Azov and this blockade.
Today Russia is trying to do this in Azov, tomorrow it will be the Black Sea, the day after tomorrow it will be the Baltic. Until they are stopped, until they are punched in the nose and driven back to their lair, nothing will change,” Omelyan said.
