As NATO leaders father for a summit in Lithuania the war in Ukraine shows no sign of abating.
Thousands of foreign nationals have travelled to Ukraine to support the counter offensive against Russia – some are leaving after it became too much.
Who doesn't want the record corrected? Alas, there's so much noise posted to handle more than a random fraction of it. Shame that the gold gets covered over with piles of bullshit. Perhaps we could all pitch in and post less of the latter.
Russia warns against any ships traveling to Ukraine from Thursday
Russia warned that from Thursday any ships traveling to Ukraine's Black Sea ports will be seen as possibly carrying military cargoes, after Ukraine said it was setting up a temporary shipping route to try and continue its grain exports.
The moves by both countries on Wednesday came just days after Russia quit a deal - brokered by the United Nations and Turkey - that allowed the safe Black Sea export of Ukraine grain for the past year, and revoked guarantees of safe navigation.
Ukraine has made clear that it wants to try and continue its Black Sea grain shipments and told the U.N. shipping agency, the International Maritime Organization (IMO), that it had "decided to establish on a temporary basis a recommended maritime route."
But Russia's Defence Ministry then said it would deem all ships travelling to Ukraine to be potentially carrying military cargo and "the flag countries of such ships will be considered parties to the Ukrainian conflict".
In a statement on the Telegram messaging app, it said the move would start at midnight Moscow time (2100 GMT Wednesday).
Russia was also declaring southeastern and northwestern parts of the Black Sea's international waters to be temporarily unsafe for navigation, the ministry said, without giving details about the parts of the sea which would be affected.
"It underscores that we're trying to work and continue to work in what is effectively a warzone," U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said on Wednesday when asked about the Russian warning.
Ukraine accused Russia on Wednesday of damaging grain export infrastructure in "hellish" overnight strikes focused on two of its Black Sea ports.
"In the ports that were attacked today, there was about a million tonnes of food stored. It is precisely that amount that should already have been delivered to consumer countries in Africa and Asia," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address on Wednesday.

Care to point out the gold vs piles pf bullshit? And by whom? If your inference is directed at me, then by all means own it. Say it.
"Putin held a video conference on Thursday with members of Russia’s Security Council.
Russia believes that Poland is planning to seize Ukrainian territory west of the Dnieper River as Ukraine’s much ballyhooed counter offensive collapses.
It does not appear that there is any leader of the NATO members who can talk some sense to Poland’s President Duda. Are the people of Poland ready for World War III?
