UK warns of Russia laying ‘sea mines’ to deter Black Sea cargo ships

Al Jazeera  

Russian sea mines warning comes as Ukrainian navy says 12 cargo vessels preparing to travel to Ukraine Black Sea ports. The UK’s foreign office said in a statement on Wednesday that intelligence assessments indicated that Russia was considering the use of sea mines to deter civilian ships travelling through a “humanitarian corridor” established by Ukraine to facilitate grain exports from the Black Sea ports. “Russia almost certainly wants to avoid openly sinking civilian ships, instead falsely laying blame on Ukraine for any attacks against civilian vessels in the Black Sea,” the Foreign Office said in a statement. Moscow shortly after announced that ships in the vicinity of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports would be considered potential supporters of Kyiv’s war efforts and “parties to the Ukrainian conflict”.
