Reference: The conflict around Tuzla Island in October 2003 became aggravation of Ukrainian-Russian relations due to the construction by Russia of a dam in the Kerch Strait from the Taman Peninsula to Ukrainian territory. Ukraine regarded these actions as an attempt to exert pressure on the issue of border delimitation in the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait. Construction was halted on October 23, 2003, when the Ukrainian positions were about 100 meters away. In November 2003, the parties agreed to stop the work, and a new Ukrainian border post was opened on the island.
