Russia on Monday, May 8, refused to register ships for entry and carry out their inspections – thus once again blocked the operation of the “grain corridor”.

It is reported press service of the Ministry of Infrastructure.

“The Russian Federation once again effectively stopped the “Grain Initiative” by refusing to register incoming vessels and carry out their inspections. This approach is completely contrary to the terms of the current Agreement,” the ministry said.

The department emphasizes that the destructive policy of Russia makes it impossible to draw up an inspection plan in accordance with the procedures of the SCC, which provide for daily approval by all parties of the inspection plan for both exit and entry.

As of today, 90 vessels are waiting for inspection in the territorial waters of Turkey, of which 62 are vessels that are being loaded.

Inspections of both the incoming and outgoing fleet are currently suspended.

“Ukraine categorically does not accept Russia’s efforts to stop the registration and inspection of the incoming fleet, which should take place in view of the working Initiative. We are waiting for the position of our partners, the UN and Turkey,” the Ministry of Infrastructure added.

Due to Russia’s actions, the export of Ukrainian agricultural products through the grain corridor did not reach 3 million tons in April.
