Ukraine has issued an official appeal to Turkey to close the Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits to Russian warships.

"The most important thing now is to support Ukraine. I call on the Turkish people and the Turkish authorities to help Ukraine. We call for closing the airspace, closing the passage through the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles for Russian warships. An official request has been sent to the Turkish side," Bodnar said.
