Its president of Russia, Vladimir Putincalled today (31/10) the Ukraine to guarantee the safety of navigation in the Black Sea “humanitarian corridor” set out in the grain export agreement, underlining the existence of a “threat” following Saturday’s (29/10) attack on Russian fleet in Crimea.
“Ukraine must guarantee that there will be no threat to the safety of merchant ships”Putin said at a news conference, accusing Kyiv of using the designated runway for the attack. In this way he wanted to justify the suspension of Moscow’s participation in the grain export agreementclarifying that he has not left her.
“This attack was launched by Ukraine against the ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. They endangered our warships and merchant ships”the Kremlin strongman said.
Moscow accuses Kyiv of launching an air and sea attack, using drones, against the Russian fleet in Sevastopol Bay in annexed Crimea. At the same time, he claims that the operation was planned with the support of the British.
For its part, Kyiv complains that these are “false pretexts” in order for Moscow to justify the suspension of its participation in the agreementwhile London denies any involvement in the attack on the Russian fleet in Crimea.
The July 22 agreement had allowed the resumption of grain exports from Ukrainian ports, which had been halted by the Russian invasion on February 24.
