Russia blocks "grain corridor". Number of vessels reduced to minimum
Ukrinform
Ukrainian vessels are sabotaged by Russian inspectors.
This was reported by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy.
According to the ministry, an average of 2-3 ships a day left Ukrainian ports in January. This figure is one of the lowest in all the months of the "grain initiative".
The reason for this is deliberate sabotage by Russian inspectors.
However, in recent days, as of the end of January, the situation is worsening and the daily number of ships has dropped to 2.5. This is an anti-record figure.
A total of 675 vessels with a cargo of 18.4 million tonnes have already been dispatched by Ukraine under the grain initiative.
