Washington has criticized Russia's actions restricting the movement of Ukrainian ships.

"Russia has delayed hundreds of commercial vessels since April and in recent weeks has stopped at least 16 commercial ships attempting to reach Ukrainian ports," the U.S. State Department said.

"We call on Russia to cease its harassment of international shipping in the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait," it said.
