Zelenskyy: the Russian Federation will be left without any ships if it continues to attack Ukrainian ports

If Russia continues to block the export of Ukrainian grain, Ukraine will find ways to stop it.

The Russian Federation blocked the Black Sea, shelling and blocking Ukrainian ports. Therefore, Ukraine must prove that it has the right to import and export products in its territorial waters, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said  in an interview with the Argentine media La Nacion.

“If Russia continues to dominate the Black Sea and blockade it with missile strikes, then Ukraine will do the same, which is a fair defense of our capabilities. We don’t have many weapons, but if they continue to fire, they may be without ships by the end of the war,” Zelenskyy assured.

The president emphasized that Russia cannot win, so it is trying to terrorize Ukraine and the whole world. However, Ukraine will definitely respond to any attack on the civilian population, on grain brokers.

“We want to show that it is not Russia that should influence everyone. When the Argentine journalist talked about colonization, it was also the policy of colonization of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. With these political methods, they want to dominate as colonizers. Why should they decide what we produce and export? And they also decide for you, not giving you the opportunity to choose yourself. Why are they still influencing it? It is not clear,” concluded the head of state.
