Russia Will Target Ukraine’s Humanitarian Corridor: UK

 

The UK has raised alarm saying, Russia will attack Ukraine’s humanitarian corridor to deter the export of Ukrainian grains. According to British intelligence Russia may target civilian shipping in the Black Sea by setting up sea mines.

The Kremlin wants to falsely lay blame on Ukraine for the attacks against civilian vessels in the Black Sea. James Cleverly, the UK’s Foreign Secretary, accused Russia of targeting civilian shipping. He said the world is watching, and sees right through Russia’s cynical attempts to blame Ukraine for their attacks.

Since Moscow pulled out of the Black Sea Grain deal, ships carrying Ukrainian grain for export have been under threat. Ukraine now ships its grain inside the territorial waters of Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania.

The UK is working together with Ukraine to boost and improve safety of shipping and has put in place the much-needed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities to monitor Russia’s activity in the Black Sea.
