Commercial vessels along the security grain corridor is unacceptable because Ukraine and its Armed Forces use the corridor to conduct military operations against Russia, the defense ministry stated on Monday.

Prior to the statement, Russia´s Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu held telephone talks with his Türkiye counterpart Hulusi Akar to debate on the suspension of agreements about agricultural product exports from Ukrainian ports.
