Russian forces do not pose any threat to the freedom of civilian navigation in the waters around Ukraine and Moscow has set up a humanitarian corridor for vessels to move through, Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzia said.
Moscow earlier warned that the threat of drifting Ukrainian mines remains along the coast of the Black Sea countries, adding that Russia is taking measures to ensure the safety of civilian navigation.
On Tuesday, negotiators met in Istanbul, Turkey, where Russian negotiators recieved a "clearly articulated position" from Ukraine, including readiness for a "neutral, non-aligned and non-nuclear status."
Russia launched a military operation last month with the stated goal of putting an end to war crimes committed by Ukrainian troops against civilians during an eight-year offensive against Ukraine's eastern provinces.
