The Russian Ministry of Defence's accusation that Ukraine is using grain corridors to attack occupied Sevastopol with drones is an untruthful manipulation by the aggressor country.

Quote from Yusov: "The recent events in Crimea have been exclusively related to military facilities and have nothing to do with the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which is about Ukrainian ports and civilian ports when it comes to the territory under Ukrainian control."
Details: Yusov has said that when it comes to Crimea, it is about the occupied territory and military facilities of the occupiers. "Ukraine complies with its international obligations, including fulfilling all obligations related to the Black Sea Grain Initiative," Yusov stressed.
Background:
- On 17 April, the Russian side blocked ship inspections in Turkish territorial waters for the second time.
