Russia warned of mines laid by Ukraine

According to russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), these explosives are moving into the Bosphorus Strait, with the risk this poses to navigation. These Russian sources, quoted by the TASS news agency, claim that thousands of mines were installed in the ports of Odessa, Ochakov, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny, and that up to 420 would be obsolete anchor explosives, manufactured in the first half of the twentieth century. The wind and currents cause them to drift through the western part of the Black Sea,” the FSB said, according to Europa Press. Surface currents in a southerly direction are dominant, so it is not ruled out that they go towards the Bosphorus and even reach the Mediterranean,” the Russian agency warned. The Armed Forces of Ukraine “demonstrate once again their absolute contempt for the foundations of international law and for human lives, including those of citizens of the countries of the European Union,” according to Moscow.Russian authorities warned of the risk of the presence of explosives in the southwest and northwest of the Sea Negro.La placement of maritime explosives is a violation of the 8th Hague Convention of 1907 because the Self-explosive mines cannot be controlled in any way and are therefore not considered safe.
