Negligence.

This is coolbert:

So is it the Russian? Or is it the Ukrainian? Or a combination of both?

Naval activity the Black Sea during the ongoing Ukraine Conflcit confining merchant vessels from sailing with precious food stuffs cargo for the international market. 

THIS HAS NOW BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A PROBLEM WITH A POSSIBILITY OF WORLD-WIDE CALAMITY!

See as extracted from a tweet of the AZmilitary1 Twitter account the protestions of a Turkish admiral. [click on image to see an enlarged view. AZmilitary1 obviously a pro-Russian Twitter account]

"Drifting mines". "Negligent actions". Etc. "Not us", say the Russians. "Not us" say the Ukrainian.

UNMISTAKABLY SO CONTROL OF THE BLACK SEA AND THE LONG-TERM FREE MOVEMENT OF COMMERCIAL SHIPPING IN/OUT OF HARBORS SUCH AS ODESSA HIGH ON THE AGENDA OF VLAD VIS-A-VIS THE UKRAINE CONFLICT. EXPORTS OF UKRAINIAN GRAIN TO INTERNATIONAL MARKETS STIFFLED, FUTURE TRANSPORT DONE ONLY WITH THE SUFFERANCE OF THE RUSSIAN!
