Ukraine Questions The cost of reconciliation with the Black Sea Russia

Ukrainian Navy Fleet Patrol Boat, slipped across the Black Sea, double-barreled, 25 millimeter machine guns locked on the horizon. I have not seen enemies, Russia, and still exist. In the team room, Captain Mykhailo and his crew scanned screens showing Russian mine-loaded waters and Russian mine laden waters and Russian coded zones marked by red arrows.

The crew’s mission was to protect the water of water from Ukraine’s largest Black Sea port, Ukraine’s largest black seaport city and keep them safe for commercial traffic. Throwing drones to the night, so far it is used to cleanse Russian mines – but other Ukrainian fleet ships successfully successful.

There was a Russian navy Moved away from the shores of UkraineTo allow Ukraine to send commercial Near number level. Tuesday, Captain Mykhailo’s fruits on the horizon, a 740-meter silhouette of a 740-meter Ukrainian ship to load with grain.

“Great ship. Beautiful,” said Captain Mykhailo, just using the first name and rank of the first name and ranked in accordance with Ukrainian military rules.

Kyiv and Moscow decided Ceasefire in the Black Sea Last month, during the mediation of the United States, but in the United States, but in the waters of Ukraine, many managed the question to think about this question: Is Ukraine will have anything to make such a reconciliation?

Though ceasefire commitmentThe countries are still negotiating how it will take effect or how it will be. Sea workers and business owners in Odesa were delayed in the positive and conscience of the transaction. A ceasefire ports can reserve Russian drone and missile strikes, but this is the only area of ​​Ukraine’s strategic advantage in the sea, perhaps the top hand.

“I don’t want a ceasefire,” he said. “The only party that wants a ceasefire is Russia because they no longer control the Black Sea.”

Ukraine’s skepticism has just deepened Moscow’s Conditions of Peace: Lifting some Western economic sanctions and the previous non-supported bargain, which allows Russia to control commercial ships leaving Ukrainian ports for weapons inspections – two non-start for Kiev.

“Why should we now have discounts?

Deep distrust continues between the countries. Both sides have agreed to temporarily suspend blows against energy infrastructure, to accuse only of breaking each other.

It is unknown if the ceasefire will never affect the Black Sea. Ukraine’s military officials have been afraid of attacking Ukrainian ports since the talks since the talks of Russia, since the talks of Kiev, but it has reportedly reportedly called him a reconciliation.

Ukraine is now talking about the ceasefire in the Black Sea and speaks of sharply changes in the odds there.

Shortly after Russia full-scale occupation Three years ago, his fleet ships approached the shores of Ukraine as much as 15 miles away. The 27-year-old Captain Mykhailo, Odesa’s southern edge hit “destroyed the exploration station”. In the city, Residents filled the sandbags Strengthen defense positions, wrap to attack.

Russia has never been able to break OSESA. However, its fleet, siege sufficiently controlled Ukrainian ports from the Black Sea, strangling the country’s economy and Threat to global food security Because Ukraine is an exporter of the main grain.

Booker a deal In July 2022, a shipping corridor for the exports of Ukraine was reopened, but on a contract that allows all Russian commercial ships to be inspected for weapons. Kyiv, Moscow decidedly slowed inspections to strangely trade. After a year, but two were dozen ships Use the corridor every month.

Russia In July 2023 he was withdrawn from this dealComplaining about the same economic sanctions, this threatened and threatened all commercial ships of all commercial ships to Ukraine and.

To restart exports, Ukraine launched a campaign to retreat Russia’s Black Sea Fleet using sea drones and missiles to destroy or damage large warships and rockets. According to English Defense Intelligence Services. The attack forced Russia’s navy to withdraw its retreat to the eastern part of the sea, to withdraw to Ukraine eastern part of Ukraine Provide a new shipping corridor Hugs the coast before NATO members enter the territorial waters.

Captain Mykhailo, patrol ship – an island class boat said Was donated by the United States in 2021 – On the shores of Ukraine, “the mines are accompanied by trade ships that provide security from Russia’s airstrikes.

More ships are already traveling in the course of an unpredictable agreement from the new corridor. Food exports in the Black Sea are also approaching the prior warning level. Last year, Ukraine, Ukrainian investment company Dragon Capital, 32 million metric tons of grain and oil grain and oil grains were sent to about 80 percent.

In this background, experts see little benefits for Ukraine in the Black Sea.

As required by Russia, “Ukrainian servicemen can return all the success of the Ukrainian military corridor, especially the inspections of ships are reconstructed,” he said. “I can’t see why Ukraine should accept.” “It doesn’t make sense.”

Experts say that all the people of all Russians who can win the ceasefire in Ukraine would be the end of the shocks. These attacks are damaged several ships and destroyed a large number of containers and cereals. In the summit of the attacks, in the second half of 2023, Yurii Vaskov said that in the second half of the former Infrastructure Minister of Ukraine, in the second half of 2023, the export potential of the ports of the Odsace was reduced to 20 percent.

Captain Dmytro Pletenchuk, Ukrainian Navy Press Secretary Dmytro Pletenchuk, “For Ukraine” ceasefire in the Black Sea, first of all, it means suspension of attacks on the port infrastructure to work without violation of our grain corridor. “

“Russia can offer us in this Agreement,” he said.

This offer was out of the phrases of the White House Last month declares a ceasefire in the Black Sea.

Andrii Klymenko, head of the Black Sea Strategic Studies, said he did not expect the two-sides to build a sea breach, taking into account the demands of the conflict. Russia’s part of some ships suspects part of the Black Sea to the center of the Black Sea, Kiev suspects the use of peace already warned would make opposite attacks.

Captain Mykhailo’s ship, the ceasefire goes away as usual. Iron boxes are ready to be used on deck. Tuesday night, the crew, jumped a few, Russian drones, Odesa and his edge were fired.

“Unfortunately, we did not hurt them,” Captain Myxailo said that in the opinion of the Ukrainian authorities, no one had hit ports.

“Nothing changes for me,” he said. “It’s always fighting.”
