Dmytro Pletenchuk, a navy spokesman, made the statements as Ukraine attempts to challenge Russia’s de facto blockade on Ukrainian exports via the Black Sea. Moscow withdrew in July from an agreement which assured Kiev the possibility of exporting grain in complete safety.
The Ukrainian Navy also highlighted its efforts to ensure the safety of civilian vessels in its territorial waters. The 12 ships mentioned above are currently entering the territorial waters of Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey.
