Ukraine Announces ‘Humanitarian Corridor’ for Ships Stuck in Black Sea Ports
Written by Black Hot Fire Network on August 13, 2023
Ukraine announced a “humanitarian corridor” in the Black Sea on Thursday to release cargo ships trapped in its ports since the outbreak of war, a new test of Russia’s de facto blockade since Moscow abandoned a deal last month to let Kyiv export grain.
At least initially, the corridor would apply to vessels such as container ships that have been stuck in Ukrainian ports since the February 2022 invasion and were not covered by the deal that opened the ports for grain shipments last year.
But it could be a major test . . .
