> Russia rejects measures that hinder safe navigation, the Foreign Ministry said after the first meeting of the Group of Friends of Safe Navigation and Seafarers during the UN General Assembly’s high-level week. Moscow said politically motivated unilateral restrictions violate international law, including the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, and could destabilize maritime logistics that carry about 90% of global trade.
