Fake:
Russian mines endanger navigation in the Black Sea. This was stated by the President of Ukraine Zelensky during his speech before the Parliament of Norway.

Reality:
The Russian Ministry of Defence denied Zelensky’s statement. The Russian Defence Ministry spokesman, Major General Igor Konashenkov, stated that the Ukrainian Navy, from February 25th to March 4th, deployed 420 anchor mines in the Azov and Black Seas. All mines are of an outdated design; as a result of a breakage of the cables, at least 10 of them went into a “free floating”. One mine was discovered and neutralized by Turkish sailors. The whereabouts of the remaining Ukrainian mines is currently unknown.
The Russian Federation opens on a daily basis, from 08:00 to 19:00, a safe corridor with a length of 80 and a width of 3 nautical miles. All this is being done while Ukraine continues blocking at least 68 foreign ships in Odessa, Nikolaev and Chernomorsk.

◽️ As a result of incessant shelling by the Ukrainian armed forces and nationalist battalions, Izyum residents and their small children are forced to hide in basements, bomb shelters and makeshift hiding places. For this reason, they are afraid to go out to buy food.
