As part of the monitoring of commercial navigation in the Kerch Strait, the Navy says Russia had eight vessels cross into the Black Sea, including three moving on toward the Bosphorus Strait, and seven vessels – into the Sea of Azov.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, US Navy destroyer Ralph Johnson sailed through the Taiwan Strait in a move to highlight America’s commitment to upholding freedom of navigation.
