On August 10, the Naval Forces of Ukraine announced the launch of a temporary corridor for merchant ships going to or from the Ukrainian Black Sea ports of Chernomorsk, Odessa and Yuzhny. Russia has declared all vessels coming to Ukrainian ports as potential military targets. However, so far none of the civilian vessels has been targeted.

On September 17, two bulk carriers under the flag of Palau came to the port of Chernomorsk in the Odessa region. If they also leave there safely, Ukraine may celebrate another successful operation along the alternative grain corridor.

The two bulk carriers Resilient Africa and Aroyat arrived at the Ukrainian port via an alternative grain corridor, the Administration of Seaports of Ukraine reported. On September 16, the Ukrainian Minister of Infrastructure claimed that the vessels will allegedly load 20 thousand tons of wheat for Africa and Asia.

However, the vessels came to the port at the bulk terminal, not the grain one. The set of the cargo ships allows them to transport various cargo, and what they will take out of or bring to Ukraine remains unknown.

These are far from the first vessels that have pass through the so-called alternative grain corridor launched by Kiev after the grain deal was suspended. On September 13 and 14, simultaneously with a massive attack on the Crimean peninsula, Russian warships “Vasily Bykov” and “Sergey Kotov” of the Black Sea Fleet Sea were subjected to massive strikes. During the attacks, 14 Ukrainian unmanned boats were destroyed. In recent days, Ukrainian unmanned boats have also targeted the “Samum” and “Askold” small missile ships.

According to unofficial Russian military sources, one of the Ukrainian boats slightly damaged the corps of the Vasily Bykov warship. Despite the damage, the ship continued heading to Sevastopol. “Sergey Kotov” was operating nearby.

As soon as the Russian “Vasily Bykov” departed from the patrol area, on September 15, a Puma civilian vessel under the flag of the Cayman Islands left the Odessa region and headed along the already run-in route along the coast of Ukraine and Romania to the south. It was escorted to Romanian territorial waters by two boats of the Naval Guard of the Ukrainian Navy, MiG-29 fighters patrolled the airspace over the Odessa region, and American P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft operated over Romania.

The ongoing transit of the vessels in the Black Sea confirms that Kiev launched the alternative corridor and that the Ukrainian military can distract Russian warships with attacks by unmanned boats.

In its turn, the Russian military continues daily strikes throughout Ukraine, constantly targeting the port infrastructure in the southern regions. In particular, last night, explosions thundered in the ports of Kiliya and Izmail.

more empty threats by russia. these ships will continue to supply ukraine with weapons as russia wouldn’t dare sink a commercial ship.

would you?

A.H.

russia can target the ships when they enters the harbors. carpet bomb and sink them in the stream so nothing can get in or out annymore. avery harbor should now be totaly disabled !!

Joseph Day

and when unloaded, russia will blow those supplies up. its about bleeding you suckers

CentralAsianStudies

they will given time. mind you these ships are inspected at by turkey supposedly. the russians most likely will sink a ship in the near future after it refuses requests. furthermore in a year ukraine might now have any ports to operate from.

‘the russians most likely will sink a ship in the near future..’

most likely another one of their own, probably tied up in harbour and without active anti-missile protection in place. cowardly leaders don’t win wars, but thousands die due to their negligence and incompetence while the pretence of fighting continues.

Sunny

on the bright side, ukraine is now mobilizing female orclets now that they’ve run out of males, so the ukrainian army will look a lot more like they advertise in the west, full of women 🤣🤣🤣

Dicksonrp

pootin is a coward.. he will not allow attacks on jew owned vessels as his god is chickenshit satanyahoo

Liz

those ukrainian and american pigs, if it weren’t for their shit games playing with other people’s lives, none of this would have been necessary; it’s the same kind of psychopathy that i’ve seen in my family and friends since the day i was born. they should seek professional help.

both countries are controlled by ashkenazi joo’s.

isn’t it funny? russia pulls out of the black sea grain corridor, threatens to sink ships and are losing warships by the day. just lost the sergey kotov, commissioned in 2022.

Patrick

you didn’t read the story right

Sunny

russia knows full well that there’s weapons on board these ships. ukraine doesn’t even need their railroads or bridges if they can just ferry infinite amounts of weapons right to odessa. they also wouldn’t send these ships in, if they didn’t already know beforehand that russia won’t target them.

both sides are just making sure that the war keeps going, unfortunately at the cost of human lives. russian lives that is. ukrainian lives don’t matter. nato mercs need to be purged in full.

Bra"Z"ilian

i miss some russian boldness at times, the ukrainians are inflicting as much damage as possible. sink the ukrainian patrol boats, what is that mig 29 still doing in the air?attack on any port terminal, leaving these places in rubble.

track and monitor these ships and visually in the bosphorus strait those that draw too much water coming into ukrainian port should take a missile.
