Ukraine said Wednesday it would not demine waters around the Black Sea port of Odessa to allow for grain to be exported, citing the threat of Russian attacks on the city.
“The moment we clear access to the port of Odessa, the Russian fleet will be there,” spokesman for the regional administration Sergiy Bratchuk said in a video statement on social media.
He said that Russia “dreams of parachuting troops” into the city and that Moscow’s army “wants to attack” Odessa.
The Turkish and Russian foreign ministers were meeting in Ankara Wednesday to discuss the creation of security corridor to ship Ukrainian grain stuck in the war-torn country’s ports due to a Russian blockade.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow was ready to facilitate the safe passage of Ukrainian grain.
Bratchuk said before the announcement that any exports from Odessa must be escorted “by NATO countries”.
Turkey has offered its services to accompany maritime convoys from Ukrainian ports.
Ukraine before the war was the world’s fourth largest exporter of wheat and supplied half of the world’s trade in sunflower seeds and oil.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned this week that the amount of grain blocked by the war could triple within several months.

“Ukraine is trying to starve Africa to further its war aims.”
Russia started this war.
L
Yes. Occams razor in avtion
lol and score!
That’s just terrific, ain’t it.
Well, since most of those that’ll die of starvation are black Africans and brown middle easterners, few in this government will care. Its not as if Oklahoma is gonna starve after all.
This is only an acceleration of the predictable starvation from ‘green’ policy. Oil produces exponentially more energy than any ‘green’ tech, is cheap, easy to transport, found all over the world, and the science to refine and use it is 100 years evolved.
NATO, the European Union and the DC neocons started this war.
Feb 20, 2022 — THE VICE PRESIDENT, KneePads Kammy:
Let me start by saying I appreciate and admire President Zelenskyy's desire to join NATO.
Hard to keep all the details straight these days as to what was true, what was false, who lied, who backtracked, and so forth...
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned this week that the amount of grain blocked by the war could triple within several months.
They're not blocked "by the war"; you just admitted that they're blocked by your mines. Remove them, and let the flow of grain continue.
This war was started in 2014 when Russia invaded Ukraine. The complaint about NATO was just an excuse for Phase 2.
Merkel had to bail out your loser Ukraine Army troops and their Western embeds when the rebel troops got them in a surround in 2015. She went crawling to Pootie for a little break for her pals.
Ukie cannon fodder gonna cannon fodder.
Now Vlad won’t even take Merkel’s calls...
Well, since most of those that’ll die of starvation are black Africans and brown middle easterners, few in this government will care.
Our clique of death merchants have been sold a bill of goods regarding their manufactured and synthetic hero zelenskyyyy and the actual purpose of the Russian military operation. Russia was winning since the moment they set foot on the battlefield, despite Western propaganda. The wave of crippling inflation that’s coming our way will make even the most brain damaged Neocons question their allegiance to Biden
Send it through Poland
I think I read that the Ukrainians also turned down a compromise plan that just charted a course for the freighters through the minefield.
What they want is for NATO to take over the harbor, and thus protect Odessa and the southwest from attack. Part of the problem is Turkey, who is upsetting the Syrians by attacking the Kurds, and threatening to start a war with Greece over a few disputed islands.
Um, no.
Russia illegally sent troops across an internationally recognized border and started killing people.
You communist sympathizers are liars.
L
The Russians aren't communists.
The 1980s called. They want their retro-Cold War stuff back.
Love it!
You are paying entirely too much attention to this.
Communists or not they’re still a bunch of murderous gangsters.
I hope the Ukrainians kill every last one of them.
