Ministry of Recovery denies suspension of grain corridor
Ukraine’s Ministry of Recovery denies suspending the grain corridor.
The ministry released a statement on the evening of 26 October, Censor.NET reports.
"The ports of Velyka Odesa continue to handle vessels that have passed through the temporary corridor.
The information about the cancellation or unpredictable suspension of the temporary corridor for the movement of civilian vessels from and to the ports of Velyka Odesa is not true. All existing routes established by the Ukrainian Navy are valid and are used by civilian vessels. Given that the corridor was implemented in the extremely difficult conditions of Russia's military aggression, its operation is subject to the military situation and weather conditions.
Currently, 23 vessels are being loaded at the ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Pivdenny. A total of 51 vessels used the entry corridor. 33 vessels exported more than 1.3 million tonnes of Ukrainian agricultural products and other cargoes," the statement said.
As a reminder, Barva Invest, a consulting company, claims that on 25 October, USPA issued a warning that ship traffic through the corridor would be suspended on 26 October 2023.
