“Look, what we know, from open sources, is that it will be a narrow fairway for grain carriers, for those caravans that are planned to be grouped and then follow the appropriate route. Everything else will be mined. No one is saying that the water area of the Odesa port will be completely demined or the security of our Black Sea borders will be reduced. We are not talking about this at all,” Bratchuk said.

Also, the OVA spokesman noted that some part of the population for some reason perceived such agreements as the fact that mine and explosive safety will be weakened.
“This will not happen. That is why the ban on visiting the beaches of the Black Sea coast, swimming in the sea remains a ban. I especially want to emphasize this. There will be a path, the route will be technical specifically for ships. For this bread caravan,” Bratchuk emphasized.
Addition
On July 23, the enemy attacked the Odesa Sea Trade Port with Kalibr cruise missiles. 2 missiles were shot down by air defense forces. 2 hit the infrastructure facilities of the port, reported in OK “Pivden”.
This happened less than 24 hours after Russia signed an agreement with the UN and Turkey on unblocking the export of Ukrainian grain by sea. Ukraine signed a similar agreement separately from the Russian Federation with the UN and Turkey. It was about unblocking three ports for export – “Odesa”, “Chornomorsk” and “Pivdenny”.
The hostile missile attack on the port of Odesa has already provoked the reaction of both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and foreign diplomats, in particular, the USA and the EU .
