Ukraine and Russia both have ports on the Sea of Azov, including Ukraine’s major port of Mariupol, while Russia controls the sea’s mouth at the Kerch Strait.
Also, Russia’s defense ministry has claimed its air raids on Ukraine are not targeting the country’s cities and pose no threat to civilians, according to RIA Novosti.
Ukraine said earlier that at least eight people had been killed and nine others wounded by Russian shelling.
The European Union, in the meantime, said that they will slap the harshest package of sanctions ever implemented on Russia for attacking Ukraine.
