Turkish authorities have launched an initiative to ensure the safety of commercial shipping in the Black Sea, creating separate security corridors for Russian and Ukrainian civilian vessels.
The proposal outlines a route along the coasts of Romania and Bulgaria for ships departing from Ukrainian ports. In contrast, the Russian merchant fleet would utilize a corridor running through Georgia and Turkey.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan presented the initiative. To date, neither Moscow nor Kiev has provided a clear response to the conditions.
