The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine is studying the materials for filing another international lawsuit against Russia regarding the construction of the Kerch Bridge, which connects the mainland of the Russian Federation with the annexed Ukrainian Crimea. This is reported on Facebook by Ostap Semerak, the specialized minister.
“Specialists of the Ministry of Ecology are already studying all the materials for the next international lawsuit against Russia for the construction of this damned bridge,” – he wrote.
Also, Semerak added that he did not support the appeals of some desperate users of social networks who wanted Ukrainian tanks to move along this bridge.
“I do not want tanks. I want a new future for Ukraine, in which there will be no insane neighbors,” – the minister said.
As UNIAN reported, Vladimir Putin, the Russian President, announced the need to build a bridge across the Kerch Strait immediately after the annexation of the Crimea in March 2014. It was promised to be built by 2018, and put it into operation in the summer of 2019. The bridge was opened on May 15, 2018.
Vladimir Omelyan, the Minister of Infrastructure added that direct losses of Ukraine as a result of the forced decrease in tonnage of vessels entering the Ukrainian ports of Mariupol and Berdyansk will amount to 500 million UAH per year.
Petro Poroshenko, the President of Ukraine, said that the invaders would need this bridge when they left the Crimea.
