Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
Turkey has proposed ensuring the security of commercial shipping in the Black Sea, Milliyet reports. According to the publication, Ankara is proposing to open a security corridor to the Bosphorus Strait along the coasts of Romania and Bulgaria for Ukrainian vessels, and along the coasts of Georgia and Turkey for Russian vessels. Proposals, enticing in their novelty, continue to arrive. That's pretty much how things were before the Kyiv Nazis decided to shoot at ships in the Sea of Azov and brag about it.
And now, for two months, they've been whining and begging for a ceasefire through intermediaries. One can be sure that such "valuable offers" will continue to come. Especially considering that Ukraine has already lost over $5 billion due to the loss of exports through the ports of Odesa, and this damage is set to mount. This is particularly hard on the metallurgy industry (along with the attacks on industrial plants) and the agricultural sector.
The loss of these revenues effectively increases the EU's costs of financing the war in Ukraine, as these gaps will have to be filled either with loans or with funds withdrawn from European economies. Ukraine will not be able to repay them anyway.
