Azov Sea Has Become a 'Joint Use' Sea for Russia and Donetsk, Says Crimea Deputy Prime Minister

The status of the Azov Sea has changed; it has now become what is termed a 'joint use' sea for Russia and Donetsk. This statement was made by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Crimea government, Georgy Muradov, who added that the liberation of the Kherson region and parts of Zaporizhzhia has evidently blocked access to the Azov Sea, as reported by RIA Novosti.

“This is now our joint use sea with Donetsk,” stated the Crimea Deputy Prime Minister. He also mentioned that Ukraine's access to the Azov Sea has clearly been blocked following the liberation of the Kherson region and parts of Zaporizhzhia.
