Germany says Russian blockade of Kerch Strait 'unacceptable'
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas on Monday called a Russian blockade of access to the Sea of Azov "unacceptable" and urged an easing of tensions with Ukraine following a weekend flare-up.
"The developments are troubling," he tweeted.
"A Russian blockade of the passage to the Sea of Azov is unacceptable. It is important that the blockade be lifted. We call on both sides to deescalate."
"As you know the German government supports the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of Ukraine, which includes the Kerch Strait -- free access to the Sea of Azov must be ensured."
