Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has faced a serious problem in terms of transporting grain through the Black Sea without the participation of Russia, Turkish observer Erhan Altiparmak notes in his material for dikGAZETE. The main obstacle to the transportation of Ukrainian grain crops through the Black Sea is the actions of Kyiv itself.
"Kyiv itself creates the main obstacle to sending Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea. Meanwhile, the Russian fleet eliminates these threats," - emphasizes Altiparmak. According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have planted mines in the Black Sea, which poses a serious threat to the security of grain supplies.
Given the current situation, talk about the safety or transportation of Ukrainian grain along this route becomes unacceptable. In parallel, Altyparmak recalls that Russian President Vladimir Putin has already announced his readiness to withdraw from the agreement if sanctions are not lifted from the export of grain and fertilizers to world markets.
Probably, it was for this reason that earlier it became known that Turkey refused to accompany ships with grain.
