For months, Kyiv, whose economy is heavily dependent on farming, was able to safely export its grain from Black Sea ports under a deal brokered by the United Nations and Turkey to ensure safe shipments.
Following the withdrawal, the Russian defence ministry said it would regard any vessels in the Black Sea headed to Ukrainian ports as military targets. The interim corridor in the Black Sea, which Kyiv has asked the International Maritime Organisation to ratify, was opened on August 10 as US and Ukrainian officials warned of possible Russian attacks on civilian vessels.Sea mines also make the voyage risky and ship insurance costs are likely to be high for operators.
Mr Kubrakov said on Saturday that five vessels have since used the corridor to leave the Ukrainian ports.
