I have one huge problem with the ideas to ending the 'Russian blockade' of Ukrainian ports. I do not believe such a blockade exists. I have never seen a single example of such a blockade. I only see the blockade in headlines. Is there one example of a Russian warship stopping exit of a Ukrainian grain ship?
I read that the Russians are announcing daily corridors through the black sea for ships. The Russian MOD recently said they would provide corridors from Ukrainian controlled ports once the mines are removed.
Ukraine said they had mined waters outside Odessa to prevent a Russian landing. The there were reports from Turkey that Ukrainian mines were drifting all over the black sea some as far as Turkey. Ukraine blamed Russian mines.
Ukrainian TV showed UA soldiers deactivating a mine that washed up on an Odessa beach. The had blurred out the lettering on the mine.
Here is just one example. There is a Turkish ship stuck in a harbor that would have to pass through Ukrainian controlled waters to reach the black sea. The captain says that the problems is the mines in the waterway to the sea.
Also, is there an embargo on wheat from Russian ships? Maybe in some countries but not others? If so it would seem the blockade is from the west. Is the west starving people to harm Russia?

In Russian Controlled Kherson Region Ukraine there are many civilian ships that can not leave to the Black sea. In this report The captain of a Turkish ship in the port and Russian Soldiers explain why they can not leave the port and go to the Black sea.
I remember when OPEC was formed and some oil embargo. Now we have a self imposed Russian oil embargo.
I remember a scene in Blazing Saddles where the black sheriff pulls out a gun, points it at his own head, says to what he says or the n*gger gets it.
