nice topological questions they are too acro
your landward tripoint can be seen here in large on the coast of
the taganrog bay of the northeast sea of azov
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/commonwealth/ukraine.gif
& it is indeed impossible to define the fullest possible extent of
the disputed territory
tho the tuzla spit is so far the only known dry land within the
entire area of possible dispute
& i am still not sure what kind of border there is if any within the
kerch strait generally & the tuzla vicinity in particular
nor where such a border would end in either direction if indeed it
is really there
as alleged in one of your articles
& as shown on your map by an isolated stitch of line
since the map has a border accuracy disclaimer
