Russia is lying about resuming ship inspections in the Bosphorus

After a pause due to the actions of the russian side, the JCC resumed inspections of vessels exporting Ukrainian grain. At least, that’s what the russian Foreign Ministry said.

On Tuesday, April 18, inspections of vessels transporting grain from Ukraine allegedly resumed in Turkish territorial waters. The continuation of the work of the “grain corridor” was reported by rossMI with reference to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of russian federation.

The russians also accuse Ukraine of not fulfilling the agreed procedures.

However, according to available information, inspections of vessels in the Bosphorus have not yet been resumed.

As previously reported by USM, the blocking of the “Grain Agreement” has already led to a reduction in exports by 15-18 million tons.
