Over the past ten months, it has exported more than 30 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain. Since May 6, no boats entering the corridor (empty) had been inspected, and checks on outgoing vessels are being carried out in dribs and drabs, according to data from the Istanbul Joint Coordination Center. The inspection of the vessels carrying the grain was a demand of Moscow to ensure that they would not simultaneously deliver weapons to Ukraine.
