The Russian Foreign Ministry explained why the West needed the "Azov theme"

21
The Crimean "problem" has ceased to be a sharp plot, it is no longer perceived as an instrument of pressure on the Russian Federation, therefore the West has invented a new one - the Sea of ​​Azov, said Merchant Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin.





According to the diplomat, the “Azov theme” is thrown into the information field “intentionally and strained.” Kiev and its foreign patrons created it from scratch.

In fact, the situation in this region is not interesting for Western countries, but they are very important new pretext for attacks on the Russian Federation and to tighten sanctions, he said.

Russia is once again actively accused of some illegal actions, but the evidence given does not hold water.

Claims of hours-long and even multi-day delays of ships are a blatant lie: from 1,5 thousands of inspections conducted from April to October inclusive, 90% were carried out at anchorage of ships at the entrance to the Kerch Strait from the Azov and Black Seas. At this time, the formation of caravans for their posting on the Kerch-Yenikalsky channel was carried out, said Karasin.

He explained that the procedure for the formation of such caravans is an obligatory pilotage procedure, and was previously used by Ukraine itself, without causing any questions. Inspection, as a rule, does not exceed 3 hours. The longest was the five-hour inspection, but this was the only case.

As for longer delays, they can only be associated with weather conditions. Russian border guards ensure that the channel works rhythmically and without interruption. About any deliberate delays of speech does not go at all. All this was invented in Kiev, Washington and Brussels, the deputy minister added.

He also said that Russia has no plans to create a military base in the Sea of ​​Azov. The militarization of the Azov-Kerch region is another “horror story sucked from the finger”. The Russian military is guarded only by the Crimean bridge due to terrorist threats from Kiev.

Everything is exactly the opposite - it is Ukraine that is building up its military forces in the Sea of ​​Azov: it increases the sea grouping there, and also strengthens the coastal military infrastructure, explained Karasin.

      ... as an instrument of pressure on the Russian Federation.

      The theme of Skripals, chemical weapons in Syria and the Donbass has exhausted itself.

          I think not only these topics, I don’t know how much the truth is, I personally haven’t heard it, but here is the new old, now only as if from the side of the Southern neighbor, Nazarbayev said such a spit,
          RIA News
          President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev said that when the territory of the republic was a colony of Russia, "all wealth from the earth was taken out" by the tsarist administration. This was announced on Tuesday, December 6, by the Information Bureau. “During the time of tsarist Russia, all wealth was taken out of the land, and we were just left with dug up land and forced to swallow dust. We even had no roads inside the country. And now you saw which railway was launched? And before this did not happen, because we were a colony, ”Nazarbayev said during the awarding of the winners of the Altyn Sapa Presidential Prize
          I think in the near future we will have an unpleasant surprise from Kazakhstan, Donbas-2, and the Caspian Sea like Azov. So there is no plowed field for poking under our belly.
          Maybe I'm wrong, not strong in politics and economics, but this outrage from the past is time to put an end to despite howling from the west, why treat a rabid dog? cheaper to shoot. Yes, and as our sun-faced said? I think this, not only his street taught, it's time to stop flirting. But this cannot happen, for we are a single capitalist whole, but we think so, but how does the united capitalist west look at it?

      hi Marina.
      And they will do this endlessly, since Russia declares its strategic and economic interests, but has not really learned to defend them (or is afraid), and this is fraught with many losses. Well, just imagine that we are stuck in the conflicts of Albion and Northern Ireland, no matter what howl and clanking of armor would begin until the readiness of No. 1 nuclear weapons in Britain, and the sending of this island of its warriors to / to the Ruin only "worries" the Russian government with the writing the next "ay-ay-ay". We should be careful, to defend our interests harder and not to “blush with a suffocating wave” for what we have done.

    That's exactly what is "strained". And Ukraine will have to push for new sanctions against Russia. Obviously, the new hemorrhoids will "strain" their butt.
