The situation in the Black Sea has worsened with Russia’s withdrawal on July 17 from the international “grain deal”, which guaranteed a safe passage for ships with loads of Ukrainian grain.
Soon after, Moscow declared all ships bound for Ukrainian ports as military targets.
In response, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said it would consider all ships bound for Russian ports or Ukrainian ports not under Kyiv’s control to be military cargo carriers.
On Friday night, a naval drone strike damaged a Russian amphibious ship near the port of Novorossiysk, and a tanker was damaged in the Kerch Strait on Thursday evening.
