(The first eight foreign ships arrived at the ports of Ukraine to export agricultural products - units of the Navy of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are involved in ensuring transportation.)
"The Armed Forces of Ukraine help in the export of Ukrainian agricultural products
At the request of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine joined the organization of ensuring the transportation of agricultural products by civilian ships through the mouth of the Bystre channel of the Danube-Black Sea river. The first eight foreign ships have already arrived at Ukrainian ports.
It is worth noting that the use of the mentioned channel became possible thanks to the liberation of Zmiiny Island [Snake Island] from the Russian occupiers, because the island is of strategic importance, as it allows controlling the surface and partly air situation in the South of Ukraine, which was used by the occupier to block the movement of civilian vessels in the southern part of our country.
Previously, due to the blockade of civil shipping, global shipping companies had to use the Sulina Canal, which led to the accumulation of a large number of vessels and significant congestion of the canal.
It should be noted that due to the Russian aggression and blockade in the Black Sea, millions of tons of Ukrainian grain were blocked in Ukrainian ports, a large part of which was intended for the UN World Food Program to combat the global crisis. Having partially restored the export of agricultural products by river, Ukraine is thereby helping to solve the world crisis - famine.

Unfortunately, most of the ports of our country still remain closed, and some of them are occupied, the enemy is trying to manipulate information about seemingly gestures of "good will" to unblock the export of Ukrainian raw materials by sea.
At the same time, units of the Russian Federation continue to attack critical infrastructure facilities and civilian vessels in the Black Sea. As an example, the enemy recently launched a missile attack on the bunker ship "Millennial Spirit", the flag of Moldova, after which it sank.
Despite the aggression of the Russian Federation, our country continues to do everything possible to solve the problem of hunger in the world," the message reads.
How humanitarian of RuZZia to let them pass. Pooty Poot should get a Nobel Peace Prize LOL.
How soon do those payments on our Lend Lease Program kick in?
Is this what our $40 Billion buys?
Russia doesn’t have much to say about it. They don’t control the Black Sea anymore.

Sorry you lost all credibility with that statement….
You cannot be serious. A nation that has operational hypersonic missiles, A technology that the United States is still trying to master thanks to Obama, cannot take out grain ships in the the Black Sea? You are delusional.
They are being escorted by NATO naval vessals.
Perhaps you could share with us a list of the NATO naval vessels that Turkiye has allowed into the Black Sea.
He won’t. The most laughable about this war is the propaganda component. Form entirely replaced function.
I don’t trust news from Ukraine, Russia, US, UK, AUS, CA - pretty much from anywhere.
So Ukraine cleared the mines they had planted?
Here’s why.

Good news that grain is moving again. However, I get the impression that the ships are moving by canals and river. “Having partially restored the export of agricultural products by river, Ukraine is thereby helping to solve the world crisis - famine.” Does this mean Turkey has not approved shipping through their straits? Also, I imagine mine sweepers would be needed even if Russia would refrain from bombing food shipping. I don’tknow where the rivers would come out in the ocean, but I imagine the Mediterranean route is closer to the poor couontries that need the food the most.
The boomeranging suicide sanctions need to be ended immediately.
agree
No, it has NOTHING to do with any putative restriction of the Bosporus by Turkey pertaining to grain shipments! Please don't open that "can of worms!"
The relevant treaties granting Turkey (or anyone else, for that matter) the right to stop, inspect, or close traffic through such straits pertains only to warships, cargo ships carrying armaments, and the like - not to food shipments.
Regards,
There, fixed it!
