WASHINGTON, June 17 — RIA Novosti. Russia is ready to guarantee the safety of the traffic of grain ships from ports controlled by Ukraine and not to use open corridors in the interests of the military special operation, he wrote Russia’s Ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov.
He denied the accusations that Russia made navigation difficult and accused the Ukrainian authorities of interference, which he said planted some 420 obsolete sea mines.
“Success can only be achieved if the Ukrainian authorities agree to constructive cooperation in this matter. They should start by clearing their own mines, «wrote the ambassador in an English-language article published in The National Interes.
