Russia can use a grain corridor to deliver weapons in the Black Sea - People's Deputy

According to MP Artem Chernomorov, the Russian courts in the Bosphorus are not particularly checking. At the same time, Ukrainian grain vessels can wait for their passage turn through the strait for about a month. Russia can use the grain export agreement to supply weapons on the Black Sea through the Grain Corridor. Despite Turkey's control, Russian vessels that pass through the Bosphorus are not inspected. The People's Deputy of Ukraine Artem Chernomorov told this on April 4 in the blog of League.

net. "As the heads of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine are concerned about, the inspections of Russian ships in the Bosphorus do not occur. This increases the risk that in the opposite direction the Russians can carry military cargoes to their ports," the People's Deputy said.

According to him, in turn, the Russians do not adhere to the regulations at the inspection of Ukrainian courts and constantly check ballast water and grain quality, while such inspections are not included in the responsibilities of inspections. Chernomorov notes that despite the continuation of the grain agreement, the needs of Ukrainian exports are not satisfied, since domestic agrarians in 2023 still dream of selling the remains of 2021.

To say that the corridor covers the needs of Ukrainian exports - will be an exaggeration, the People's Deputy said. Some farmers still dream of selling at least 2021 remains, since the Russian side is essentially engaged in the technical sabotage of the "grain corridor", which is why hundreds of ships are delayed near the Bosphorus Strait. "Russia as can technically sabotifies the work of the grain corridor. As a result, about a hundred ships are waiting for the duct.

If three ships can pass the inspection during the day, then at least a month is going to pass the available queue," Chornohiv summed up. We will remind, the British edition of Naval News on March 5 reported that the Russian cargo ship of SPARTA IV with military equipment and equipment passed through the Bosphorus and headed to the Navy military base in Novorossiysk.
