Russia blocks the work of the "grain initiative" again

The Russian side has once again refused to register ships for departure and conduct inspections.

Ministry of Development of Communities, Territories, and Infrastructure reported this

Currently, 90 vessels are waiting for inspection in Turkish territorial waters, 62 of which are ships for loading.

The Ministry noted that exports of Ukrainian agricultural products via the grain corridor in April did not reach 3 million tons.

"Russia's destructive policy makes it impossible to draw up an inspection plan in accordance with the JCC procedures, which provide for daily approval by all parties of the inspection plan for both outbound and inbound shipments," the ministry said.
