Corridor.

This is coolbert:

From the controlled [?] Internet web site "South Front" details of that Russian proposal to allow grain shipments to proceed from Ukrainian and [?] Russian ports.

"UKRAINIAN SEAPORTS TO BECOME FIRST BATTLEFIELD OF WWIII"

With terms and generosity the Ukrainian seaports NEED NOT become the first battlefield of the WWIII. Let us hope cooler heads and reasonableness will prevail.

"The ports of Ukraine are of geopolitical and strategic importance, at least because they are a large transport hub in Europe. 70 foreign ships have been blocked at six Ukrainian ports (Kherson, Mykolaiv, Chernomorsk, Ochakov, Odesa, and Yuzhny)."

Specifically defined mine-free corridors have been established with times allowed for ships transit as touted?

"The corridors for the civilian vessels willing to leave the Ukrainian ports are secured by the Russian Navy on a daily basis from 8:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. At the same time, the AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine) granted no security for civilian ships, so there is still a danger of entering the Black Sea. Moreover, not all mines in the Black Sea have been defused and some are still drifting in the waters."

"On May 25, the Russian Defense Ministry managed to open the first humanitarian corridor for foreign ships from Mariupol. The Russian Defense Ministry said that Russian troops have removed all mines in the waters of Mariupol. The way towards the Black Sea was secured. The humanitarian corridor is 115 miles long [184 kilometers] and 2 miles wide [3.2 kilometers]. At the moment, Russia is restoring port infrastructure."

Simple gestures in such bad situations can go a long way to solving and resolving other issues and problems. I sincerely hope so. And for those vessels that take to the sea with their precious cargo, just don't look back.
