Russia fears international pressure and will miss new ships in the Kerch Strait until the port of Mariupol if the world reacts to its actions. One of the pressure tactics is the presence of European representatives in the Azov region.
As noted Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin, Russia has begun to blow up more ships in the Kerch Strait in recent days as part of a visit to the Donbass by Czech Foreign Minister Tomasz Petršicek and Denmark Andres Samuelsen.

"In fact, a few days before the visit, I was told that Russia was starting to blow up new ships.the result is in Klimkin said
that he explained that the arrival of international representatives could force Moscow not to delay long-term ships going to the ports Ukrainians
They (the Russians, – channel 24) are afraid of it.The political pressure, they are afraid of the discussion, they are afraid of the pressure of our friends and they are afraid of the friendly help. These are exactly the last five or six days when they have deliberately started to miss more.That is how these tours work, and that is exactly what will happen in the future
underlined the minister.
Russia is not the first month of the block of foreign ships going to the Ukrainian ports of the Azov Sea. Sometimes, hundreds of ships accumulate near the strait. Thus, the Kremlin is trying to destabilize the situation in Azov in order to fully control it and seize even more territory in Ukraine.
How did the blockage of the Kerch Strait affect Ukrainian ports? The ports of Mariupol and Berdyansk suffer considerable losses due to the blockade of traffic in the Kerch Strait. In this regard, the two ports are forced to move to a four-day work week and reduce their workforce.
