Ukraine has accused Russia of flouting maritime law by trying to put the Kerch Strait under its sole control. This claim was presented at an international court as both nations faced legal challenges regarding the strategic waterway, which is vital for military and economic reasons. Ukraine's representative emphasized the need to prove Russia's numerous violations of sea laws, asserting that Moscow cannot arbitrarily reshape international law to its benefit in this ongoing conflict.
The ongoing hearings at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague highlight the tension between Ukraine and Russia over the Sea of Azov and Kerch Strait. Ukraine aims to demonstrate that Russia is disregarding established maritime regulations. Ukraine's stance is rooted in the broader context of a persistent military confrontation that began with the annexation of Crimea, leading to significant legal battles over territorial rights and maritime sovereignty.
