The Ukrainian authorities are discussing barring Russian vessels from entering Ukrainian ports and are considering other options of response to Moscow's actions in the Kerch Strait incident when Russia detained three Ukrainian vessels over the violation of its maritime border, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said, UrduPoint reported.
"One of the ideas we are discussing is to prevent Russian vessels that are coming from the Sea of Azov or the Black sea from entering certain ports or to block some of the vessels [from entering]; and to restrict the possible contacts ... There are a lot of ideas," Klimkin told the Ukrainian Inter tvbroadcaster.
