Kim: 29 foreign ships are blocked in the ports of Mykolaiv

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, there have been 29 foreign ships with cargo waiting to go to sea in Mykolaiv ports.

“There are currently 29 foreign ships with cargo in Mykolaiv ports, including 6 Turkish ones. All of them are ready to go to sea as soon as a decision is made to join Mykolaiv to the “grain corridor”, – Ukrinform quotes the statement of the head of the regional military administration, Vitalyi Kim.

According to him, the situation on these vessels is very different. Most of them have crews; there are ships on which sailors were evacuated; there are also those vessels on which the cargo is in danger of catching fire. Therefore, Regional Military Administration  keeps these issues under control, water and provisions were delivered to some ships, while the owners did it on their own.

According to Kim, there is currently no official information about Mykolaiv joining the Grain Agreement. In his opinion, it will become more real only after the de-occupation of the Kinburn Spit.
