According to Tass, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on February 22 that the country will not allow Ukraine to carry out new provocations in the Kerch Strait and will conduct necessary diplomatic efforts.
Commenting on Moscow's reaction to Kiev's possible provocation in a program on Channel One, Zakharova said: "The Russian leader has responded. First, by taking measures when the first provocation was carried out, and second, by explaining that these provocations will not be allowed."
According to the diplomat, the Russian Foreign Ministry is making diplomatic efforts to prevent such incidents, and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov drew attention to the issue during bilateral meetings at the Munich Security Conference taking place from February 15 to 17./.
