Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Kyiv is in talks with India, Turkey and Egypt to reopen a safe grain navigation route through the Black Sea to resume exports. Zelenskyy frames the discussions around protecting food shipments and restoring navigation security so grain can move to international markets.
Multiple outlets report that the proposed plan would involve safeguards for vessels participating in the corridor, including the possible use of ships operating under the participating countries’ flags. The talks are taking place amid continued Russian resistance to the idea, according to reporting cited by the outlets. Analysts and editors also highlight that India’s diplomatic position—its links with both Russia and Ukraine—could influence negotiations and any future arrangements for monitoring or guarantees tied to the corridor.
