In what the court wanted to complain Poroshenko, Tsegolko said.
“Isolation”
Blocking the Strait of Kerch during the construction of the bridge in the Crimea, in fact, Russia has condemned Ukraine for insulation, said earlier the Deputy Minister on the issues of the temporarily occupied territories and internally displaced persons of Ukraine Georgy Tuka.
“Now the matter is investigated. By such actions Russia violates all international norms. She actually condemns Ukraine for a certain kind of isolation by sea”, — quotes the official Ukrainian edition of “Browser”.
Kiev’s actions are dictated by fear
Political scientist, Deputy Chairman of the Public chamber of the Republic of Crimea Alexander Formanchuk considers that Ukraine is annoying is that Russia has demonstrated the ability to implement such a project.
All this mixed with the fear that the Crimea after the construction of the bridge and infrastructure will be out of reach for dreams from the point of view of the mythical return to the Ukraine”, — said the analyst.
Sample transport construction, able to withstand an earthquake
The construction of a bridge across the Kerch Strait is an example that sets the highest standards for all transport construction, said the Minister of transport of Russia Maxim Sokolov.
