A grain ship carrying Ukrainian grain is seen in the Black Sea, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, near Ukrainian port of Odesa, Ukraine November 2, 2022. At least initially, the corridor appears to apply to vessels such as container ships that have been stuck in Ukrainian ports since the Feb. 2022 invasion, and were not covered by the deal that opened the ports for grain shipments last year. "Today a new temporary humanitarian corridor has started to work," Oleh Chalyk, a spokesperson for Ukraine's navy, told Reuters by telephone. It said a risk remained from mines in the Black Sea and the military threat from Russia. Last month, Moscow quit the year-old Black Sea grain deal that had allowed Ukraine to safely export agricultural products, saying that a parallel deal to help ease Russia's own grain and fertiliser exports was not being implemented.

Ukraine's navy on Thursday announced "temporary corridors for trading vessels" to and from Ukrainian ports, while warning of the continued risk of attack from Russia. Speaking to Reuters, navy spokesperson Oleh Chalyk said cameras would be placed on ships to broadcast footage showing the corridor "is purely a humanitarian mission and has no military purpose." According to the navy's statement, the routes will primarily be used to allow commercial vessels to exit Ukrainian ports. Russia has yet to officially comment on the announcement. Russia in July suspended the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which had facilitated a humanitarian corridor for the export of Ukrainian agricultural goods through the war.
