Russia partially unblocks Ukraine seaports amid standoff
Russia has partially unblocked the Ukrainian seaports on the Azov Sea amid the ongoing standoff between the two countries, Ukraine's Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan said. Russia has lifted some restrictions on movement to and from the ports of Berdyansk and Mariupol. "The vessels are stopped by the Russian side, they're still inspecting, but traffic has been partly restored," he added.
