The agreement itself was signed in a trilateral format. Russia has signed an agreement with Turkey separately.
In Istanbul, representatives of Ukraine, Turkey and the UN signed an agreement on the export of grain from the territory of Ukraine.
The document was signed by Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Alexander Kubrakov, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
Later it turned out that Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu had separately signed an agreement with Turkey and the UN. Then the Ukrainian minister also came out to sign.
According to Shoigu, a memorandum was also signed, according to which the UN is involved in the process of lifting restrictions on the supply of agricultural products and fertilizers to the Russian Federation.
At the moment, the seaports of Odessa, Yuzhny and Chernomorsk are controlled by Kiev. There may be ships in transit with grain, as well as with goods that are associated with it – food and fertilizers.
According to the captain of the 1st rank in the reserve Vasily Dandykin, there is a serious danger in the signed agreement.
He pointed out the lack of work on the clearance of ports. The expert does not believe that there are really safe fairways in the Black Sea water area now and reminded that any vessel can be blown up by a drifting mine.
“The Black Sea mining field is literally stuffed with floating anchor mines of the Soviet era, – quotes the captain “Moskovsky Komsomolets ”.
The expert recalled that Ukraine should have a map of the placement of mines and designated fairways. At the same time, he noted that dozens of vessels referred to in the agreement remain blocked in ports.
In case of an explosion, according to a military specialist, all the blame can be blamed on the Russian saboteurs from the island of Serpentine.
He recalled that even if a drifting mine is found in the waters of the Black Sea, it will not save the ship, for example, in a storm.
Earlier, topNews wrote that Ukraine refused to sign a direct agreement with Russia for the export of grain.
The conditions for signing such an agreement were announced in the administration of Vladimir Zelensky.
