Russia's defence ministry said on Wednesday that the port of Mariupol, the Ukrainian city which was taken by Russia after a three-month siege, is operating normally.
No, The Ukraine War Has Not Stoked A Global Food Crisis.
It is not Russia that is withholding Ukrainian grain or cutting off its seaports. Ukraine does that all by itself.
true, basically whatever ukraina say, the reality is possibly the opposite
Suggestion for russia: Declare that any ship that will enter odessa will be checked for transport of ammunition
the above will show the real reason for pushing for transport by sea instead of train, trough poland.
Apparently it's not what it first seems. This is not the UK saying we're going to escort ships and let's get directly involved in the war. This is Lithuania saying they want to get neutral parties like Egypt and others to escort ships with cooperation from the Russians to allow food to get through. And under the inspection of the Russian ships. So it seems like it's far less of an escalation than the title would first indicate.
