Ukraine: Russia has planted up to 500 mines in the Black Sea

Ukraine claims Russia has placed 400 to 500 old Soviet mines in the Black Sea, making it impossible to export goods from Ukrainian ports.

Odessa regional military administration spokesman Serhiy Bratchuk says Russia has "created a world food crisis" by blocking ports, adding that Russia is using an "information alibi" blaming Ukraine for the food crisis.

Ukraine's Black Sea ports have been blocked since the start of the war on February 24, suspending vital grain exports, and officials say 20 million tonnes of grain have now been blocked in the country.

The UN says some countries could face long-term famine if Ukraine's exports do not return to pre-war levels. Russia has offered to open a corridor across the Black Sea to food shipments in exchange for easing sanctions.
