Turkey is continuing diplomatic efforts to open corridors for the export of grain from Ukraine, and there are already about 20 ships in the region ready to carry out this mission.
This was stated by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at a press conference following the NATO summit in Madrid, Ukrinform reports .
“We will continue to support telephone diplomacy with Putin and Mr. Zelensky. We have a roadmap that has been implemented. We will try to launch this corridor as soon as possible. We have about 20 ships in the region ready to export grain from Ukraine. We will continue to provide unloading and delivery of products to third countries, “Erdogan said.
According to Erdogan, he intends to hold the next telephone conversations with the President of Ukraine and the President of Russia at the end of this week or at the beginning of next.
Earlier, Greece stated its readiness to offer its ships for the export of Ukrainian grain blocked by Russia by sea.
Earlier, Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Taras Vysotsky said that since the beginning of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has exported at least 400,000 tons of grain from the occupied Ukrainian territories .
As reported, according to an investigation by Lloyd’s List, cargo of stolen Ukrainian grain is delivered from the occupied Crimea to the ports of Syria and Turkey by at least 10 bulk carriers and cargo ships under the flags of Russia and Syria . Джерело: https://biz.censor.net/n3351318

So does Erdogan believe Vladolf will let him deliver grain to Ukraine’s customers? He said “third countries”. Something is fishy here.
Where in the heck are our ships? Why is Biden so damned hesitant with every darned step?
For sure, a real president would have already unblocked the mafia blockade, guided Ukrainian ships out of their harbors and ensured that only worthy countries get grain delivered. Those who grovel to the dwarf can wait until he delivers to them.
Biden does absolutely nothing, despite sitting on the most powerful navy on earth.
And through Lend/Lease you would think the Coast Guard had a few extra ships to lend. If someone thought they were needed more in Crimea than Miami…..
I’m sure that we have dozens of ships and boats that are superfluous, which could be put to good use in Ukraine. But, we need a real POTUS to make that happen, and not a piece of chicken turd.
RSM… “Something is fishy here.” I Agree RedS this doesn’t pass the smell test. Erdogan seems to be more and more playing both sides. If a corridor is open it, needs to have accountability and International monitors. Any grain found on ruzzian or orc allied vessels should be seized. Content reduced price to at risk areas with proceeds going to reacquire farm equipment, livestock, and repair farm related infrastructure in Ukraine.
