Vessel traffic on the recommended routes to Ukraine’s seaports in the Sea of Azov will be blocked for the period from February 13 to February 19 in connection with Russia’s decision to block a significant part of the water area of the Azov and Black Seas for this period to conduct drills involving rocket and artillery firing, the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority (USPA) reports on Thursday.
According to the authority’s official message on Facebook, the movement of ships in the Black Sea during this period will only be possible with deviation from the recommended routes, bypassing the live firing zones, respectively, with restrictions on the draft of ships.
“Currently, restrictions on the movement of ships [during the specified period] are being processed by specialists, additional clarifications will be provided in the near future,” the message says.
As reported, the Russian Federation declared two areas in the Black Sea and one in the Sea of Azov closed to shipping for the period from February 13 to February 19 due to military exercises.

So in three days the invasion will start. I hope you guys are all safe in case the idiot in Moscow really starts a war.
NOW is the time to send our Navy into the Black Sea! Where are you, sleepy Joe???
I would like to know which side this guy is on. Surely some comonsense needs applying, and stop the fucking politics.

Alas, not only Germany or mafia land have assholes in their governments.
He’s sending troops to evacuate our embassy staff.
It’s all so very sad, Mike. This old fart has at his disposal the largest, most powerful military in the history of mankind, and all he can do in the face of a rodent’s troop buildup is escape. Escaping is Biden’s specialty: First, Afghanistan and now Ukraine. I hope he will soon escape from the Yellow House!
Update (February 10, 21:20):
Ukraine received a letter from Navigational Warning Service. Russia has cancelled the complete blockade of Azov Sea. The reason is currently unknown. Russia still plans to conduct the exercises, but only a limited area of Azov Sea.
