- Initially, the corridor would cover civilian ships stranded in Chornomorsk, Odesa and Pivdennyi since February 24, 2022.
- Ukraine said it had proposed the routes directly to the International Maritime Organization (IMO); owners or captains would need to officially confirm their readiness.
- Ukraine’s navy warned of Russian military threats and sea mines; cameras and broadcasts are planned to demonstrate the corridor’s civilian purpose.
- Approximately 60 commercial ships remain stranded; many crews were evacuated, while locally hired Ukrainian staff help care for the vessels.
The corridor will be very transparent. We will put cameras on the ships and there will be a broadcast to show that this is purely a humanitarian mission and has no military purpose.— Oleh Chalyk, spokesperson for Ukraine's navy, told Reuters
