| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Turkey announced security guarantees for ships with grain, heading from the ports of Ukraine, during the passage of the straits. This was reported on August 17 by the Haber Global TV channel, citing sources in the Turkish Ministry of National Defense. According to him, Turkey is ready to guarantee unhindered passage through the Dardanelles and Bosporus for ships with grain, which follow from the ports of Ukraine. As IA Regnum reported , Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov said on August 16 that a container ship with more than 30 thousand tons of cargo left the port of Odessa, it became the first ship that used the temporary corridor opened by Kiev in the Black Sea. Ukraine has announced temporary corridors in the Black Sea for merchant ships. As noted on August 10 in Kyiv, we are talking about going to or from the ports of Odessa, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny. The Ukrainian authorities noted that a military threat remains on the designated routes, so only ships whose owners and captains officially agree to this can pass through them. On July 17, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced the suspension of the grain deal. He noted that none of the promises given to Russia at the conclusion of this agreement was never fulfilled. The Black Sea deal between Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the UN on the export of grain from Ukrainian ports has been in force since July 22, 2022. On July 4, 2023, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that there were no grounds for a further extension of the deal, since it had turned into a purely commercial export of food from Ukraine to “well-fed” countries. The Foreign Ministry also reported that the ports controlled by Kiev and the corridor opened by Russia for the export of Ukrainian grain were used by the Kiev regime to carry out terrorist attacks. The Russian Ministry of Defense, after the country's withdrawal from the grain deal, stated that from July 20, ships sailing in the Black Sea to Ukrainian ports are considered as potential carriers of military cargo |
