Sunday’s successful blockade run could signal to international shippers that it’s reasonably safe to resume operations from Ukrainian ports.

    What a worthless blockade, the whole point of a blockade is to prevent ships from entering or leaving. I wonder if the Russian Black Sea fleet is even still operational.

      You take that back!

      The Russian black fleet is the strongest submarine fleet on the planet, they launched their newest vessel, The Moskva, just last year!

      As the saying goes: “In the Russian Black Fleet, every ship is a potential submarine!”

      Russian submarine technology is sp advanced they’re preparing to convert the entire Kurch bridge into a submarine! Western technology cannot match!

      Operational? Sure. But not actually operating in the Black Sea region they are supposedly blockading.
      Russia has long pulled many of their ships back to more secure locations to keep them from being targeted. It’s basically typical Russian posturing. They can pretend to block grain ships in the Black Sea all they want but to actually do it they would need to have control there.
      The only thing they could actually do is shooting missiles mostly blindly at everything that moves…
