Grain export shipments from Ukraine resumed on Wednesday as Russia said it was rejoining a deal brokered by the UN and Türkiye to establish a safe Black Sea corridor.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told parliament that “shipments will continue from 12pm today as planned”, after a call between the Russian and Turkish defence ministers.

The difference is ships will be checked. You forgot that part.
Not in the article, but if true, so what? Generally you want to inspect stuff going to war zones, not ships leaving war zones.
After the Ukes British sea drone attack on the Russian fleet involved in the transport, they called off the deal. The retard Ukes were brought to heel by Erdogan and Putin.
It’ll include inbound ships, and the outbound will be checked for those Evinrude unmanned drones.
After the attack on the Russian fleet, the Ukrainians continued to export grain and ignored the threats of the Russians, and grain exports went up.
The Russians then had to decide whether to try to attack civilian freighters and look even worse, or back down. Guess what? They backed down. Sad!
Because the truth is the truth. That is why.
Turkey gave Russia some kind of acceptable security guarantee…prob related to inspecting ships for illicit weapons smuggling.
Turkey gets most of the grain so had a big stake in resolving the problem caused when Ukes and their handlers used the humanitarian corridor deal to mask an attack on Crimea. An attack that left Erdogan with egg on his face.
I'm pretty sure the Admiral Makarov got the worst end of the deal. :-)
You mean the ship parked at the dock where it’s been since before the attack?
Stop with the disinformation …it’s beyond foolish now
Minesweeper took a few hits but minesweepers are built for that
The guarantee Erdogan probably gave putin was that if the latter touched one of the grain ships, Turkey would go from neutral to NATO ally for the remainder of the war.
we love to see Russia backing down in the morning
another small victory in a long war
Totally undamaged and I am sure the Moskva is fine too, Russia's finest submarine!
Erdogan senses Russian weakness and a chance to move up in the world.
This all ends if Russia pulls their troops out.
All of it.

After Russia recieved assurances from Kiev: “It said Kyiv guaranteed “the non-use of the humanitarian corridor and Ukrainian ports determined in the interests of the export of agricultural products for conducting military operations against the Russian Federation.””
So I have several questions. Were Ukranian ports used to execute the alleged attack? Were the attackers using the humanitarian corridor? Where were the British sea drones launched from? Are they also checking Russian ships leaving the Black Sea possibly carrying arms for delivery to Syria, as well as grain?
I read a week or two ago that Russia had pulled its war ships out of Sevastopol and parked them in some legitimate Russian port. Was that information wrong or did they decide to risk using Sevastopol again?
They were “involved in the transport” precisely as the mafiosi are involved in providing “protection” to a business.
Worse, the Russians had to decide whether they wanted to attack Turkish flagged ships.
