LANDLOCKED: After Taking All Azov Sea Coastal Areas in the Start of the War, Russian Forces Now Are Blocking, Mining and Destroying the Infrastructure of All Ukrainian Black Sea Ports
If there’s one aspect of the war in the Ukraine that cuts through the fog of war and the NATO propaganda with maximum efficiency is the question of access to sea ports.
Having already lost the Crimean Peninsula in 2014, Ukraine also was driven out of all the coastal areas of the Sea of Azov in the first phase of the Russian military operation, which culminated in the conquest of Mariupol.
And in the last 10 days, ever since Russia bowed out of the Turkish-brokered Grain Deal, daily heavy bombardment of all the major Black Sea ports, coupled with a heavy naval blockade and even sea-mining of said ports has, for all practical purposes, transformed Ukraine into a landlocked country.
