Ukrainian President Foludmir Zellinski confirmed on Tuesday evening that “the grain corridor needs reliable and long -term protection”, at a time when no shipment is expected to cross the shipping ship on Wednesday the humanitarian corridor for the transfer of Ukrainian grains in the Black Sea.
In his daily message on social media, he stated that Russia “must clearly understand that it will get a harsh global response to every move that impedes our food exports.”
“It is literally a vital matter of tens of millions of people,” he continued.
Additionally, the ships filled with grain from Ukrainian ports are anticipated to depart on Thursday, according to the UN coordinator for the Black Sea Grain Agreement.
The UN coordinator, Amir Abdullah, stated on Twitter that Ukraine should keep exporting grains and supplies. loaded on Thursday for ships.

These changes occurred after the Kremlin declared earlier today that the Russian president had asked assurances that the grain corridors between Kyiv and Ukraine would not be used for military reasons.
The statement demanded a thorough inquiry into the Kyiv attack on ships in Sevastopol following a meeting between Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, accusing Ukraine of exploiting the grain corridor as cover to strike Sevastopol and ships patrolling the corridor.
After Kiev accused Moscow of using protests to target its navy stationed in the Crimea, Russia declared on Saturday that it had “suspended” its participation in the accord. Moscow issued a warning about the “risk” of carrying out the accord without its involvement.
In response, the president of Turkey, who enjoys cordial ties with both Russia and Ukraine, emphasised Monday’s resolve to continue its efforts and uphold the deal on Ukrainian grain shipments “despite the Russian reluctance.”
It is noteworthy that the grain agreement, which was reached between Ukraine and Russia in July under the sponsorship of Turkey and the UN and expires on November 19 to help ease the global food crisis brought on by the conflict, particularly in Africa, was reached under the auspices of Turkey and the UN.
Since the beginning of the Russian operation in the lands of the Western border in late February, the agreement has so far permitted the export of more than 9.5 million tonnes of Ukrainian grains that have been trapped at the ports.
