Grain corridor operates without any schedule, focusing on the security situation - OC "Pivden"
The maritime corridor operates without guarantees from international partners, its operation is ensured by the Armed Forces of Ukraine
There is no stable schedule for the humanitarian corridor in the Black Sea, ships sail when the security situation allows.
Source. This was reported by Natalia Humeniuk, spokesperson for the Joint Press Center of the Operational Command "South", on the air of the national telethon.
"We argue that ensuring the operation of the humanitarian corridor is not just a "grain corridor" where only grain is transported, but also the entry and exit of ships with other cargoes. It is proposed to ensure the operation of this corridor under conditions that can be met by the Defense Forces and ensure the security component to the extent possible," emphasized Humeniuk.
She reminded that the maritime corridor is operated without guarantees from international partners, and is maintained by the Ukrainian military. Ships enter and leave the corridor only when the military is confident that the operation will be as safe as possible.
The spokesperson for the South command asked not to spin the situation around any artificial delays.
"There is no stable schedule, there are opportunities that are being realized with the support of the defense forces," explained Humeniuk.
At the same time, she confirmed that the military is recording an increase in the number of drones that collect information not only along the front line, but also try to enter from the sea and monitor the situation in deeper regions.
"The presence of a naval grouping in the Black Sea indicates that the vessels may have unmanned aerial reconnaissance vehicles on board. This is done to clarify the surface situation (...). In addition, we understand that the accumulation of certain enemy resources will be realized. We have already seen this recently. The attacks have become more targeted in the sense of a certain attempt," said the spokesperson for the South Command.
Background. Earlier, the Ministry of Reconstruction of Ukraine denied the suspension of the grain corridor, as reported by Reuters.
