Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking during his nightly address, said he was grateful the key export route has been maintained and suggested Russia’s influence over the Black Sea was weakening.<\/p>\n

Mr Zelensky said previously that Ukrainian forces have succeeded in diminishing Moscow’s military strength in the Black Sea.<\/p>\n

On October 31, he said greater support from Kyiv’s allies could lead to victory over Russia. Earlier last month, a weapons depot supply Russia’s Black Sea Fleet was hit in a missile strike<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Black Sea is a key theatre in the war with Ukrainian air and drone attacks on Russian military targets damaging ship and naval repair yards in the port of Sevastopol.<\/p>\n

The recent move in support of Ukraine that Putin’s ally warned could spark World War III<\/h3>\n

Russia’s former president Dmitry Medvedev has issued yet another warning to Ukraine’s allies.<\/p>\n

In an article penned for Rossiyskaya Gazeta, a newspaper serving as the official gazette of the Russian government, Mr Medvedev argued Poland’s support to its neighbour may trigger clashes with Russia and Belarus<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Mr Medvedev, who was president of Russia between 2008 and 2012, wrote: “Poland’s own military buildup and Polish military presence in Ukraine may trigger a direct confrontation between Warsaw and Belarus and Russia.<\/p>\n

“In this case, the allied group will give an appropriate response to prevent threats that stem from the evil ambitions of the Polish establishment.”<\/p>\n

Mr Medvedev, who is the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, added this situation could soon escalate, given Warsaw is part of NATO<\/span>, and members of the military alliance are committed to react whenever an armed attack is committed against one of its states.<\/p>\n
