Kerch Strait

The Kerch Strait is a strait that connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. 

After the occupation of Crimea Russia built the Crimean Bridge there – two bridges (railway and road) across the Kerch Strait. The bridge connects the Kerch and Taman peninsulas via Tuzla Island and the Tuzla Spit. 

Ukraine and the world do not recognize the construction of the Crimean Bridge, because Russia built it illegally, violating international law and the sovereignty of Ukraine.
