Ukraine Navy's Push to Reopen Black Sea Ports After Month-long Closure

Ukraine's Navy has announced temporary routes for ships to navigate the Black Sea, which have been effectively blockaded by Russia since last month. The initiative aims to allow ships to exit three deep-sea Ukrainian ports, despite Russia's threats and the perceived risks. Shipowners and insurers have been cautious due to the dangerous conditions, but some vessels may be willing to use the routes. Ukraine seeks to reopen trade routes despite the Kremlin's opposition, with the hope that trade will restart once stuck ships safely sail through the corridors.
