The Ukrainian Defense Ministry has asked the Russian Navy to leave the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea. As long as the exit is still open for them.

"The Ukrainian Defense Ministry reminds the Russian Navy that the Black Sea straits are closed for entry only. The part of your fleet that remains afloat still has an exit," the press service writes.

It is worth noting that since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion - Turkey complies with the provisions of the Montreux Convention and closed the straits to warships of the countries.
