U.S. State Department Proposes to Block Russian Ships

Western countries should stipulate the possibility of blocking Russian ships in other seas, the U.S. diplomat said. Western countries should discuss the possibility of blocking Russian ships when leaving the Sea of Azov in response to the Russian aggression against Ukraine, said Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent, said on Tuesday, December 4. Kent said that NATO foreign ministers will be discussing new sanctions against Russia for safety in the Black Sea. “But I can invoke German politicians, Western countries should stipulate the possibility of blocking Russian ships in other seas. This is a good idea”, he said. The diplomat also recalled that there is a mechanism of adding to the sanctions list those related to the attack on the Ukrainian ship in the Kerch Strait.
