Political scientist Ivan Mezyukho, in an interview with RT, commented on the statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba, who recognized the dominance of Russia in the Sea of ​​Azov.

According to the Ukrainian minister, "in the event" of a war, Russia will actively use its advantage to put pressure on the southern cities of Ukraine, located on the coast of the Azov Sea.

Mezyuho stressed that the Ukrainian diplomat "artificially aggravates the situation."

“The fact that Russia has a naval advantage over Ukraine is obvious, this is not classified information. Unfortunately, the Ukrainian official continues to digest the fakes of Western publications about the alleged plans for a Russian "invasion" of Ukraine, "he said.

Earlier, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said in an interview with The Washington Post that Russia dominates the Sea of ​​Azov.

Over the past several weeks, Ukrainian and Western media have been reporting the alleged preparations for a Russian invasion of Ukraine. In particular, Bloomberg, citing sources, reported that US intelligence believes that Russia can allegedly prepare an invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 and conduct it from three directions - from the Crimea, on the mainland and through Belarus. In Russia, these accusations are denied.
