KYIV, May 15 - Ukraine will fight Russia in international courts over construction of illegal Kerch Strait Bridge, which links Russia with Crimea, which was annexed by Moscow in 2014, President Petro Poroshenko said.

"The illegal construction of the Kerch Strait Bridge is more evidence of Kremlin neglect of international law, especially the fact that the span was opened on the eve of another anniversary - the deportation of the Crimean Tatar people by the Stalin regime," Poroshenko wrote in his Facebook page on Tuesday.
