The Russian navy has allowed three cargo ships (Cargo ships, including those flying the Israeli and Greek flags.) to sail unhindered to the Ukrainian port of Izmajil. The ships safely docked Sunday at the port near the Black Sea, which Ukraine uses to export grain. Izmajil is over 200 kilometres south of Odesa, Ukraine's largest port city. Grain exports from Odesa and two other major Ukrainian ports have been closed since Russia cancelled the grain deal. Russia may still stop the three ships as they set course for the Bosporus, should they have picked up grain or other agricultural products. That the Russian navy did not intervene on Sunday is notable because the three cargo ships could easily be tracked. Their transponders made their course and location easily visible. It seems that Russian military is unwilling or unable to forcibly stop and search neutral ships sailing through the Black Sea to Ukraine.

It is for Putin to make the next move and I believe he is still quite a way from exercising his nuclear option.

Let's hope Ukrainian manage to take all the land towards Crimea in the next couple of month.
Going to be interesting if they do, to see Russia's bluff. Markus

^ true, but not so easy with the Kilos .. still when Sevastopol falls and comes back to Ukraine Putin will have a hard time for maintenance and re-arming.

Attacking neutral ships is against international laws so is a blockade note that one ship on Sunday was from Turkey any confrontation between Russia and Turkey could be seen as an attack on a NATO member and Turkey has the key to the Black Sea do not think Russia wants to lose the access to the Black Sea Turkey can blockade any Russian ship, so Russia can not trade grain.

Over the past 24 hours, at least 12 military enlistment offices have been set ablaze all over Russia, from St. Petersburg to Ulan-Ude (video).
Remarkably, most of these incidents were carried out by women. https://twitter.com/StateOfUkraine/s...05411023298561 |

Correct it is desperation Putin has pumped +10% of the Russian state money in this war, the result it failed. He is desperate this war is his fate, he can not stop it without shooting himself any lose or peace will remove him from power. The great Russia is an illusion it is a poorhouse except for Moscow that is all, totally corrupt will never get things done under this regime.

There's rumour going around here in Denmark that the Danish intelligent service is monitoring those Danes who is either critical towards Ukraine and/or support Russia. It has been some article about it-Where PET and FET said they hadn't any comment. Markus

Even Russia knows full well it can’t arbitrarily start sinking ships no matter what flag they fly. Hell, if those ships are in international waters they can’t can’t even board them without permission of the flag state.
