The decision was made allegedly because of a "terrorist act against ships of the Black Sea Fleet and civilian vessels involved in ensuring the security of the grain corridor."
Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia on the "Black Sea Initiative" regarding the export of Ukrainian food:
"On October 29, the Ukrainian armed forces, under the cover of the humanitarian corridor created as part of the implementation of the "Black Sea initiative" to export Ukrainian agricultural products, carried out massive air and naval strikes using unmanned aerial vehicles against the ships and infrastructure of the Russian Black Sea Fleet at the naval base.
In connection with the actions of the Ukrainian armed forces led by British specialists, directed, among other things, against Russian vessels that ensure the functioning of the mentioned humanitarian corridor (which cannot be qualified otherwise than a terrorist attack), the Russian side cannot guarantee the safety of civilian dry cargo that participate in "black", and stops it from today for an indefinite period. Corresponding instructions have been given to Russian representatives at the Joint Coordination Center in Istanbul, which controls the transportation of Ukrainian food."
The Ukrainian military has no official confirmation yet destruction of ships of the Black Sea Fleet after the UAV "attack" in the Sevastopol Bay on Saturday, October 29.
This was reported by the head of the press center of the Operational Command "South" Nataliya Gumenyuk on the air of the telethon.
"At the moment, there is no official confirmation, but there is an understanding that with such a fear of "war mosquitoes" and the use of an aggressive anti-aircraft system against them, there may be an absolutely opposite reaction. Therefore, when S-300s hit "mosquitoes", for example, these missiles have a very large destructive power and they destroy what is actually responsible for creating this situation," she said.
Thus, an unsuccessful launch of anti-aircraft missiles may well be such a reason.
Ukraine is waiting for the reaction of Turkey and the UN to Russian statements about withdrawing from the "grain initiative", - the press secretary of the president Nikiforov
However, the Russians have repeatedly looked for reasons to withdraw from the grain agreement.
