Russia announced on Wednesday that it reentered the Ukrainian grain exports agreement, after receiving „written guarantees” from Ukraine regarding the demilitarization of the maritime corridor used for their transport, AFP reports. Moscow suspended its participation in the grain deal on Saturday, citing a Ukrainian drone attack on Russian military ships in the port of Sevastopol in the annexed Crimea. According to Russia, in this attack, remote-controlled aerial and maritime drones moved through the secured corridor intended for ships carrying Ukrainian grain. On Monday, Moscow warned of the „danger” of continuing navigation without its consent and asked Ukraine to guarantee the security of the respective maritime corridor.
