Turkey will not allow Ukrainian minesweepers from Great Britain into the Black Sea

Turkey will not let Ukrainian minesweepers “Chernihiv” (M310) and “Cherkasy” (M311) through its straits into the Black Sea.

Ships will not be able to pass through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles into the Black Sea, the Center for Countering Disinformation under the administration of the President of Turkey said on the social network Х.

In accordance with the Montreux Convention, after the outbreak of full-scale war, Turkey closed the Bosphorus and Dardanelles to all warships of the warring parties.

Last month, Great Britain announced that it would transfer two Royal Navy minesweepers to the Ukrainian Navy.
