Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Republic of Crimea Grigory Muradov said Russia’s trading partners are incurring heavy losses, including Turkey and Egypt.
Muradov explained that the reason for such large losses suffered by foreign partners is that they do not receive ships from the Russian ports of Crimea.
Muradov noted that there are prospects for settling this issue with foreign partners at the level of joint government committees, especially with Turkey and Egypt.
The Russian official stressed that the use of Crimea’s sea ports suffers from political restrictions, as the actual use of their capabilities does not exceed half, due to Western sanctions and restrictions imposed on the region.
Muradov explained that the ports of Sevastopol, Feodosia and Kirch on the peninsula are equipped with the necessary infrastructure and depths to receive transport and passenger ships.
In an interview with Novosti on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Crimea’s return to Russia, he said: “Due to the unprecedented economic sanctions imposed on Crimea, our foreign trading partners refuse to accept ships that dock in Crimean ports for fear of being subjected to secondary sanctions, which leads to huge economic losses, foremost of which are Turkey and Egypt, which could have become centers for Russian goods.”
