Russia Promises To Open Safe Ship Corridor

The Russian Defense Ministry is promising to open a safe corridor to allow foreign ships to leave Black Sea ports. A separate corridor will be open to allow ships to leave Mariupol by sailing from the port on the Sea of Azov port to the Black Sea. Mikhail Mizintsev heads the National Defense Control Center under the General Staff. He says 70 foreign vessels from 16 countries are now in six ports on the Black Sea including Odesa, Kherson and Mykolaiv. Mizintsev says the corridors would be open every day. Earlier Wednesday, the Russia military said Mariupol’s port was functioning again after three months of fighting.
